Heroin and cocaine gas chromatography data are analyzed using several clustering techniques. A database with clusters confirmed by police investigation is used to assess the potential of the analysis of the chemical signature of these drugs in the investigation process. Results are compared to standard methods in the field of chemical drug profiling and show that conventional approaches miss th...

Document clustering as associate not supervised approach extensively won’t to navigate, filter, summarize and manage huge group of document repositories just like the World Wide Web (WWW). Recently, Document clustering is that the method of segmenting a selected group of texts into subgroups as well as content based mostly similar ones. the aim of document clustering is to fulfil human interest...

Grouping people into clusters based on the items they have purchased allows accurate recommendations of new items for purchase: if you and I have liked many of the same movies, then I will probably enjoy other movies that you like. Recommending items based on similarity of interest (a.k.a. collaborative ltering) is attractive for many domains: books, CDs, movies, etc., but does not always work ...

Permeability can be directly measured using cores taken from the reservoir in the laboratory. Due to high cost associated with coring, cores are available in a limited number of wells in a field. Many empirical models, statistical methods, and intelligent techniques were suggested to predict permeability in un-cored wells from easy-to-obtain and frequent data such as wireline logs. The main obj...

knowing the fact that the main weakness of the most standard methods including k-means and hierarchical data clustering is their sensitivity to initialization and trapping to local minima, this paper proposes a modification of convex data clustering  in which there is no need to  be peculiar about how to select initial values. due to properly converting the task of optimization to an equivalent...
