traditional leveraging statistical methods for analyzing today’s large volumes of spatial data have high computational burdens. to eliminate the deficiency, relatively modern data mining techniques have been recently applied in different spatial analysis tasks with the purpose of autonomous knowledge extraction from high-volume spatial data. fortunately, geospatial data is considered a proper s...

background: since tumors located in thorax region of body mainly move due to respiration, in the modern radiotherapy, there have been many attempts such as; external markers, strain gage and spirometer represent for monitoring patients’ breathing signal. with the advent of fluoroscopy technique, indirect methods were proposed as an alternative approach to extract patients’ breathing signals. ma...

image segmentation is an essential issue in image description and classification. currently, in many real applications, segmentation is still mainly manual or strongly supervised by a human expert, which makes it irreproducible and deteriorating. moreover, there are many uncertainties and vagueness in images, which crisp clustering and even type-1 fuzzy clustering could not handle. hence, type-...

clustering technique is one of the most important techniques of data mining and is the branch of multivariate statistical analysis and a method for grouping similar data in to same clusters. with the databases getting bigger, the researchers try to find efficient and effective clustering methods so that they can make fast and real decisions. thus, in this paper, we proposed an improved ant syst...

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...

this paper compares clusters of aligned persian and english texts obtained from k-means method. text clustering has many applications in various fields of natural language processing. so far, much english documents clustering research has been accomplished. now this question arises, are the results of them extendable to other languages? since the goal of document clustering is grouping of docum...
