Traditional clustering methods, like k-means or fuzzy clustering, are prototype-based methods which are applicable only to convex clusters. On the other hand, spectral clustering tries to find clusters only using local similarity information. Its ability to handle concave clusters has gained the popularity recent years together with support vector machine (SVM) which is a kernel-based classification method. However, as is in SVM, the kernel width plays an important role and has a great impact on the result. Several methods are proposed to decide it automatically, it is still determined based on heuristics. In this paper, we proposed an adaptive method deciding the kernel width based on distance histogram. The proposed method is motivated by the fact that the affinity matrix should be formed into a block diagonal matrix to generate the best result. We use the tradition Euclidean distance together with the random walk distance, which make it possible to form a more apparent block diagonal affinity matrix. Experimental results show that the proposed method generates more clear block structured affinity matrix than the existing one does.

In this paper GFI (Generalized Fuzzy Isodata) and FI (Fuzzy Isodata) algorithms are studied and applied to the tire tread pattern classification problem. GFI algorithm which repeatedly grouping the partitioned cluster depending on the fuzzy partition matrix is general form of GI algorithm. In the constructing the binary tree using GFI algorithm cluster validity, namely, whether partitioned cluster is feasible or not is checked and construction of the binary tree is obtained by FDH clustering algorithm. These algorithms show the good performance in selecting the prototypes of each patterns and classifying patterns. Directions of edge in the preprocessed image of tire tread pattern are selected as features of pattern. These features are thought to have useful information which well represents the characteristics of patterns.

Recently, many suggestions have been made in image segmentation methods for extracting human organs or disease affected area from huge amounts of medical image datasets. However, images from some areas, such as brain, which have multiple structures with ambiruous structural borders, have limitations in their structural segmentation. To address this problem, clustering technique which classifies voxels into finite number of clusters is often employed. This, however, has its drawback, the influence from noise, which is caused from voxel by voxel operations. Therefore, applying image enhancing method to minimize the influence from noise and to make clearer image borders would allow more robust structural segmentation. This research proposes an efficient structural segmentation method by filtering based clustering to extract detail structures such as white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal fluid from brain MR. First, coherence enhancing diffusion filtering is adopted to make clearer borders between structures and to reduce the noises in them. To the enhanced images from this process, fuzzy c-means clustering method was applied, conducting structural segmentation by assigning corresponding cluster index to the structure containing each voxel. The suggested structural segmentation method, in comparison with existing ones with clustering using Gaussian or general anisotropic diffusion filtering, showed enhanced accuracy which was determined by how much it agreed with the manual segmentation results. Moreover, by suggesting fine segmentation method on the border area with reproducible results and minimized manual task, it provides efficient diagnostic support for morphological abnormalities in brain.

Possibilistic c-means (PCM) 알고리즘은 fuzzy c-means (FCM) 의 노이즈 민감성을 극복하기 위해 제안 되었다. 하지만, PCM 은 사용되는 시스템 파라미터들의 초기화와 coincident 클러스터링 문제로 인하여 그 성능이 민감하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 극복하기 위해 개미군집 알고리즘(Ant colony algorithm)을 이용한 퍼지 클러스터링(fuzzy clustering) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저, 개미군집 알고리즘을 통해 PCM 의 클러스터 개수 및 중심 값 파라미터를 최적화 하고, 미리 분류된 화소 정보를 이용하여 PCM 의 coincident 클러스터링 문제를 해결하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 효율성을 의료 영상 분할 문제에 적용하여 확인하였다.

The face shape extracted by the depth values has different appearance as the most important facial information. The face images decomposed into frequency subband are signified personal features in detail. In this paper, we develop a method for recognizing the range face images by multiple frequency domains for each depth image using the modified fuzzy c-mean algorithm. For the proposed approach, the first step tries to find the nose tip that has a protrusion shape on the face from the extracted face area. And the second step takes into consideration of the orientated frontal posture to normalize. Multiple contour line areas which have a different shape for each person are extracted by the depth threshold values from the reference point, nose tip. And then, the frequency component extracted from the wavelet subband can be adopted as feature information for the authentication problems. The third step of approach concerns the application of eigenface to reduce the dimension. And the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) method to improve the classification ability between the similar features is adapted. In the last step, the individual classifiers using the modified fuzzy c-mean method based on the K-NN to initialize the membership degree is explained for extracted coefficient at each resolution level. In the experimental results, using the depth threshold value 60 (DT60) showed the highest recognition rate among the extracted regions, and the proposed classification method achieved 98.3% recognition rate, incase of fuzzy cluster.

The current recommendation systems have problems including the difficulty of figuring out whether they recommend items that actual users have preference for or have simple interest in, the scarcity of data to recommend proper items due to the extremely small number of users, and the cold-start issue of the dropping system performance to recommend items that can satisfy users according to the influx of new users. In an effort to solve these problems, this study implemented a movie recommendation system to ensure user satisfaction by using the Fuzzy-Analytic Hierarchy Process, which can reflect uncertain situations and problems, and the data partition algorithm to group similar items among the given ones. The data of a survey on movie preference with 61 users was applied to the system, and the results show that it solved the data scarcity problem based on the Fuzzy-AHP and recommended items fit for a user with the data partition algorithm even with the influx of new users. It is thought that research on the density-based clustering will be needed to filter out future noise data or outlier data.

The Native API is a system call which can only be accessed with the authentication of the administrator. It can be used to detect a variety of malicious codes which can only be executed with the administrator's authority. Therefore, much research is being done on detection methods using the characteristics of the Native API. Most of these researches are being done by using supervised learning methods of machine learning. However, the classification standards of Anti-Virus companies do not reflect the characteristics of the Native API. As a result the population data used in the supervised learning methods are not accurate. Therefore, more research is needed on the topic of classification standards using the Native API for detection. This paper proposes a method for re-grouping malicious codes using fuzzy clustering methods with the Native API standard. The accuracy of the proposed re-grouping method uses machine learning to compare detection rates with previous classifying methods for evaluation.

This paper deal with uncertainty problem by using Type-2 fuzzy logic set for nonlinear system modeling. We design Type-2 fuzzy logic system in which the antecedent and the consequent part of rules are given as Type-2 fuzzy set and also analyze the performance of the ensuing nonlinear model with uncertainty. Here, the apexes of the antecedent membership functions of rules are decided by C-means clustering algorithm and the apexes of the consequent membership functions of rules are learned by using back-propagation based on gradient decent method. Also, the parameters related to the fuzzy model are optimized by means of particle swarm optimization. The proposed model is demonstrated with the aid of two representative numerical examples, such as mathematical synthetic data set and Mackey-Glass time series data set and also we discuss the approximation as well as generalization abilities for the model.

Clustering is one of important data mining techniques known as exploratory data analysis and is being applied in various engineering and scientific fields such as pattern recognition, remote sensing, and so on. The method organizes data by abstracting underlying structure either as a grouping of individuals or as a hierarchy of groups. Weather radar observes atmospheric objects by utilizing reflected signals and stores observed data in corresponding coordinate. To analyze the radar data, it is needed to be separately organized precipitation and non-precipitation echo based on similarities. Thus, this paper studies to apply clustering method to radar data. In addition, in order to solve the problem when precipitation echo locates close to non-precipitation echo, fuzzy logic based clustering method which can consider both distance and other properties such as reflectivity and Doppler velocity is suggested in this paper. By using actual cases, the suggested clustering method derives better results than previous method in near-located precipitation and non-precipitation echo case.
