Clustering of web user sessions is extremely significant to comprehend their surfing activities on the internet. Users with similar browsing behaviour are grouped together, and further analysis of discovered user groups by domain experts may generate usable and actionable knowledge. In this paper, a conglomerative clustering approach is presented to identify web user session clusters from web s...

Kernelized Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique is an attempt to improve the performance of the conventional Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique. Recently this technique where a kernel-induced distance function is used as a similarity measure instead of a Euclidean distance which is used in the conventional Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique, has earned popularity among research community. Like th...

Data clustering is a recognized data analysis method in data mining whereas K-Means is the well known partitional clustering method, possessing pleasant features. We observed that, K-Means and other partitional clustering techniques suffer from several limitations such as initial cluster centre selection, preknowledge of number of clusters, dead unit problem, multiple cluster membership and pre...

A precise predictive model is important for obtaining a clear understanding of the changes in dissolved oxygen content in crab ponds. Highly accurate interval forecasting of dissolved oxygen content is fundamental to reduce risk, and three-dimensional prediction can provide more accurate results and overall guidance. In this study, a hybrid three-dimensional (3D) dissolved oxygen content predic...

This paper presents a tool condition monitoring approach using Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy logic incorporating a subtractive clustering method. The experimental results show its effectiveness and satisfactory comparisons with several other artificial intelligence methods.

Three Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) including Grid Partitioning (GP), Subtractive Clustering (SCM) and Fuzzy C-means clustering Methods (FCM) have been used to predict the groutability of granular soil samples with cement-based grouts. Laboratory data from related available in litterature was used for the tests. Several parameters were taken into account in the proposed models: water:ce...

Slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. Accurate prediction of the factor of safety (FOS) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. In this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was utilized to build an estimation model for the prediction of FOS. Three ANFIS models were implemented including g...

This paper summarizes work undertaken in the area of modeling Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) and airfoil hysteresis using a Sugeno-type fuzzy modeling approach based on subtractive clustering. Two alternative approaches to develop a fuzzy model for hysteresis are proposed and evaluated. The first consists in building a mirror image of the lower curve in order to model both curves concurrently and the...
