  • Clustering is the process of grouping the data into clusters so that objects within a cluster have high similarity in comparison to one another. In this paper we used k-means clustering of several clustering techniques. The k-means Clustering Is classified as a partitional clustering method. We analyze 2002 Gyeongnam social indicator survey data using k-means clustering techniques for environmental information. We can use these outputs given by k-means clustering for environmental preservation and environmental improvement.

  • Clustering analysis is widely used in data mining to classify data into categories on the basis of their similarity. Through the decades, many clustering techniques have been developed, including hierarchical and non-hierarchical algorithms. In gene profiling problems, because of the large number of genes and the complexity of biological networks, dimensionality reduction techniques are critical exploratory tools for clustering analysis of gene expression data. Recently, clustering analysis of applying dimensionality reduction techniques was also proposed. PCA (principal component analysis) is a popular methd of dimensionality reduction techniques for clustering problems. However, previous studies analyzed the performance of PCA for only full data sets. In this paper, to specifically and robustly evaluate the performance of PCA for clustering analysis, we exploit an improved FCBF (fast correlation-based filter) of feature selection methods for supervised clustering data sets, and employ two well-known clustering algorithms: k-means and k-medoids. Computational results from supervised data sets show that the performance of PCA is very poor for large-scale features.

  • The analysis of microarray data is essential for large amounts of gene expression data. In this review we focus on clustering techniques. The biological rationale for this approach is the fact that many co-expressed genes are co-regulated, and identifying co-expressed genes could aid in functional annotation of novel genes, de novo identification of transcription factor binding sites and elucidation of complex biological pathways. Co-expressed genes are usually identified in microarray experiments by clustering techniques. There are many such methods, and the results obtained even for the same datasets may vary considerably depending on the algorithms and metrics for dissimilarity measures used, as well as on user-selectable parameters such as desired number of clusters and initial values. Therefore, biologists who want to interpret microarray data should be aware of the weakness and strengths of the clustering methods used. In this review, we survey the basic principles of clustering of DNA microarray data from crisp clustering algorithms such as hierarchical clustering, K-means and self-organizing maps, to complex clustering algorithms like fuzzy clustering.

  • A network with high mobility nodes or vehicles is vehicular ad hoc Network (VANET). For improvement in communication efficiency of VANET, many techniques have been proposed; one of these techniques is vehicular node clustering. Cluster nodes (CNs) and Cluster Heads (CHs) are elected or selected in the process of clustering. The longer the lifetime of clusters and the lesser the number of CHs attributes to efficient networking in VANETs. In this paper, a novel Clustering algorithm is proposed based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for VANET named ACONET. This algorithm forms optimized clusters to offer robust communication for VANETs. For optimized clustering, parameters of transmission range, direction, speed of the nodes and load balance factor (LBF) are considered. The ACONET is compared empirically with state of the art methods, including Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) and Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (CLPSO) based clustering techniques. An extensive set of experiments is performed by varying the grid size of the network, the transmission range of nodes, and total number of nodes in network to evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithms in comparison. The results indicate that the ACONET has significantly outperformed the competitors.

  • Clustering is a most powerful un-supervised machine learning techniques for division of instances into homogenous group, which is called cluster. This Clustering is mainly used for generating a good quality of cluster through which we can discover hidden patterns and knowledge from the large datasets. It has huge application in different field like in medicine field, healthcare, gene-expression, image processing, agriculture, fraud detection, profitability analysis etc. The goal of this paper is to explore both hierarchical as well as partitioning clustering and understanding their problem with various approaches for their solution. Among different clustering K-means is better than other clustering due to its linear time complexity. Further this paper also focused on data mining that dealing with high-dimensional datasets with their problems and their existing approaches for their relevancy

  • Identification of energy use patterns in buildings has a great opportunity for energy saving. To find what energy use patterns exist, clustering analysis has been commonly used such as K-means and hierarchical clustering method. In case of high dimensional data such as energy use time-series, data reduction should be considered to avoid the curse of dimensionality. Principle Component Analysis, Autocorrelation Function, Discrete Fourier Transform and Discrete Wavelet Transform have been widely used to map the original data into the lower dimensional spaces. However, there still remains an ongoing issue since the performance of clustering analysis is dependent on data type, purpose and application. Therefore, we need to understand which data reduction techniques are suitable for energy use management. This research aims find the best clustering method using energy use data obtained from Seoul National University campus. The results of this research show that most experiments with data reduction techniques have a better performance. Also, the results obtained helps facility managers optimally control energy systems such as HVAC to reduce energy use in buildings.

  • Process mining aims at mining valuable information from process execution results (called "event logs"). Even though process mining techniques have proven to be a valuable tool, the mining results from real process logs are usually too complex to interpret. The main cause that leads to complex models is the diversity of process logs. To address this issue, this paper proposes a trace clustering approach that splits a process log into homogeneous subsets and applies existing process mining techniques to each subset. Based on log profiles from a process log, the approach uses existing clustering techniques to derive clusters. Our approach are implemented in ProM framework. To illustrate this, a real-life case study is also presented.

  • Recently, the need for retrieving documents is growing in SNS environment such as twitter. For supporting the twitter search, a clustering technique classifying the massively retrieved documents in terms of topics is required. However, due to the nature of twitter, there is a limit in applying previous simple techniques to clustering the twitter documents. To overcome such problem, we propose in this paper a new clustering technique suitable to twitter environment. In proposed method, we augment new terms to feature vectors representing the twitter documents, and recalculate the weights of features using Korean Wikipedia. In addition, we performed the experiments with Korean twitter documents, and proved the usability of proposed method through performance comparison with the previous techniques.
