Nowadays the existing data processing systems can only support some simple query for sensor network. It is increasingly important to process the vast data streams in sensor network, and achieve effective acknowledges for users. In this paper, we propose a holistic distributed k-means algorithm for sensor network. In order to verify the effectiveness of this method, we compare it with central k-means algorithm to process the data streams in sensor network. From the evaluation experiments, we can verify that the proposed algorithm is highly capable of processing vast data stream with less computation time. This algorithm prefers to cluster the data streams at the distributed nodes, and therefore it largely reduces redundant data communications compared to the central processing algorithm.

When we analize many amount of patterns, it is necessary for these patterns are to be clustering into several groups according to a certain evaluation function. This process, in case that there are lots of input patterns, needs a considerable amount of computations and is reqired parallel algorithm for these. To solve this problem, this paper propose parallel clustering algorithm which parallelized k-means algorithm and implemented it under the MIMD parallel computer based message passing. The result is through the experiment and performance analysis, that this parallel algorithm is appropriate in case these are many input patterns.

In this paper, we propose the fuzzy neural networks based on fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm. Typically, the generation of fuzzy rules have the problem that the number of fuzzy rules exponentially increases when the dimension increases. To solve this problem, the fuzzy rules of the proposed networks are generated by partitioning the input space in the scatter form using FCM clustering algorithm. The premise parameters of the fuzzy rules are determined by membership matrix by means of FCM clustering algorithm. The consequence part of the rules is expressed in the form of polynomial functions and the learning of fuzzy neural networks is realized by adjusting connections of the neurons, and it follows a back-propagation algorithm. The proposed networks are evaluated through the application to nonlinear process.

Clustering methods essentially take a two-step approach; extracting feature vectors for dimensionality reduction and then employing clustering algorithm on the extracted feature vectors. However, for clustering images, the traditional clustering methods such as stacked auto-encoder based k-means are not effective since they tend to ignore the local information. In this paper, we propose a method first to effectively reduce data dimensionality using convolutional auto-encoder to capture and reflect the local information and then to accurately cluster similar data samples by using a hierarchical clustering approach. The experimental results confirm that the clustering results are improved by using the proposed model in terms of clustering accuracy and normalized mutual information.

Income distribution is a major concern in economic theory. In regional economics, it is often of interest to compare income distributions in different regions. Traditional methods often compare the income inequality of different regions by assuming parametric forms of the income distributions, or using summary statistics like the Gini coefficient. In this paper, we propose a nonparametric procedure to test for heterogeneity in income distributions among different regions, and a K-means clustering procedure for clustering income distributions based on energy distance. In simulation studies, it is shown that the energy distance based method has competitive results with other common methods in hypothesis testing, and the energy distance based clustering method performs well in the clustering problem. The proposed approaches are applied in analyzing data from China Health and Nutrition Survey 2011. The results indicate that there are significant differences among income distributions of the 12 provinces in the dataset. After applying a 4-means clustering algorithm, we obtained the clustering results of the income distributions in the 12 provinces.

We propose a weighted kernel pattern recognition method using the K -means clustering algorithm to reduce computation and storage required for the full kernel classifier. This technique finds a set of reference vectors and weights which are used to approximate the kernel classifier. Since the hierarchical clustering method implemented in the 'Weighted Parzen Window (WP\V) classifier is not able to rearrange the proper clusters, we adopt the K -means algorithm to find reference vectors and weights from the more properly rearranged clusters \Ve find that the proposed method outperforms the \VP\V method for the repre~entativeness of the reference vectors and the data reduction.

It is known that SOFM has the property of effectively creating topographically the organized map of various features on input signals, SOFM can effectively be applied to the recognition of Korean phonemes. However, is isn't guaranteed that the network is sufficiently learned in SOFM algorithm. In order to solve this problem, we propose the learning algorithm combined with the conventional K-means clustering algorithm in fine-tuning stage. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we performed speaker dependent recognition experiment using six phoneme classes. Comparing the performances of the Kohonen's algorithm with a proposed algorithm, we prove that the proposed algorithm is better than the conventional SOFM algorithm.

This paper proposes remotely sensed image classification method by fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm using average intra-cluster distance. The average intra-cluster distance acquires an average of the vector set belong to each cluster and proportionates to its size and density. We perform classification according to pixel's membership grade by cluster center of fuzzy c-means clustering using the mean-values of training data about each class. Fuzzy c-means algorithm considered membership degree for inter-cluster of each class. And then, we validate degree of overlap between clusters. A pixel which has a high degree of overlap applies to the maximum likelihood classification method. Finally, we decide category by comparing with fuzzy membership degree and likelihood rate. The proposed method is applied to IKONOS remote sensing satellite image for the verifying test.

Recently, a bike-sharing system (BSS) has become popular as a convenient "last mile" transportation. Rebalancing of bikes is a critical issue to manage BSS because the rents and returns of bikes are not balanced by stations and periods. For efficient and effective rebalancing, accurate traffic prediction is important. Recently, cluster-based traffic prediction has been utilized to enhance the accuracy of prediction at the station-level and the clustering step is very important in this approach. In this paper, we propose a k-means based clustering algorithm that overcomes the drawbacks of the existing clustering methods for BSS; indeterministic and hardly converged. By employing the centroid initialization and using the temporal proportion of the rents and returns of stations as an input for clustering, the proposed algorithm can be deterministic and fast.

In many cases of cluster analysis we are forced to perform clustering without any prior knowledge on the number of clusters. But in some clustering methods such as k-means algorithm it is required to provide the number of clusters beforehand. In this study, we focus on the problem to determine the number of clusters in the given data. We follow the 2 stage approach of ASA clustering algorithm and mainly try to improve the performance of the first stage of the algorithm. We verify the usefulness of the method by applying it for various kinds of simulated data. Also, we apply the method for clustering two kinds of real life qualitative data.
