ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank my advisor, Dr. Don Bouldin, for his support and guidance in this project. Without him, this work could never have been completed. I would also like to thank Dr. Bouldin for introducing me to the idea of configurable computing, an area I find very interesting and in which I hope to pursue further research. I am finally thankful to Dr. Bouldin for ...

In the present paper a 2-means clustering-based anomaly detection technique is proposed. The presented method parses the set of training data, consisting of normal and anomaly data, and separates the data into two clusters. Each cluster is represented by its centroid one of the normal observations, and the other for the anomalies. The paper also provides appropriate methods for clustering, trai...

We present a neural unsupervised pattern recognition approach for two applications related to significant topics of Earth Observation (EO) imagery: (a) EO image region classification; (b) multispectral pixel classification. The proposed model is based on the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) clustering, which is compared to two benchmark unsupervised classifiers: k-means and fuzzy c-means. We propose t...

One of the most difficult problems in the design of an anomaly based intrusion detection system (IDS) that uses clustering is that of labelling the obtained clusters, i.e. determining which of them correspond to ”good” behaviour on the network/host and which to ”bad” behaviour. In this paper, a new clusters’ labelling strategy, which makes use of a clustering quality index is proposed for appli...

To address the problem of the difficulty of traditional clustering methods to adapt to online clustering of streaming data and on the basis of the research on the evolutionary clustering method (ECM), this paper proposes a Davies-Bouldin index evolving clustering method for streaming data clustering (DBIECM). This method has improved the updating process of the clustering center and the radius ...

Bouldin et al. 1 described an improved version of the zebrafish Fucci system, which permits in vivo imaging of the cell cycle state using fluorescent proteins. Whereas the original system required crossing two different fish to produce embryos expressing both reporter transgenes, the new system, called Dual Fucci, expresses both reporters from a single transgene (Fig. 1), thus permitting crosse...

Kemiskinan merupakan suatu permasalahan yang sampai saat ini masih menjadi fokus pemerintah terutama pasca pandemi Covid-19. Permasalahan terkait kemiskinan dapat diatasi apabila mengusung program pengentasan direalisasikan secara efektif dan efisien. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengelompokkan provinsi di Indonesia berdasarkan indikator serta menentukan jumlah cluster optimum terbentuk. Analisis t...

The purpose of this research is to analyze mapping results in the form clusters formed using clustering method measures. This done determine connections that existing create. Some measurements used are mixed measurements, Bregman differences, and number (Mixed Euclidean Distance, Generalized Divergence, Squared Mahalanobis Distance). Distance measurement shall be applied on with primary school ...
