This study proposes an innovative measure for evaluating the performance of text clustering. In using K-means algorithm and Kohonen Networks for text clustering, the number clusters is fixed initially by configuring it as their parameter, while in using single pass algorithm for text clustering, the number of clusters is not predictable. Using labeled documents, the result of text clustering using K-means algorithm or Kohonen Network is able to be evaluated by setting the number of clusters as the number of the given target categories, mapping each cluster to a target category, and using the evaluation measures of text. But in using single pass algorithm, if the number of clusters is different from the number of target categories, such measures are useless for evaluating the result of text clustering. This study proposes an evaluation measure of text clustering based on intra-cluster similarity and inter-cluster similarity, what is called CI (Clustering Index) in this article.

The fuzzy c-means (FCM) is a frequently utilized algorithm at present. Yet, the clustering quality and convergence rate of FCM are determined by the initial cluster centers, and so an improved FCM algorithm based on canopy cluster concept to quickly analyze the dataset has been proposed. Taking advantage of the canopy algorithm for its rapid acquisition of cluster centers, this algorithm regards the cluster results of canopy as the input. In this way, the convergence rate of the FCM algorithm is accelerated. Meanwhile, the MapReduce scheme of the proposed FCM algorithm is designed in a cloud environment. Experimental results demonstrate the hybrid canopy-FCM clustering algorithm processed by MapReduce be endowed with better clustering quality and higher operation speed.

Recently, with the development of Internet technologies and propagation of smart devices, use of microblogs such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram has been rapidly increasing. Many users check for new information on microblogs because the content on their timelines is continually updating. Therefore, clustering algorithms are necessary to arrange the content of microblogs by grouping them for a user who wants to get the newest information. However, microblogs have word limits, and it has there is not enough information to analyze for content clustering. In this paper, we propose a semantic-based K-means clustering algorithm that not only measures the similarity between the data represented as a vector space model, but also measures the semantic similarity between the data by exploiting the TagCluster for clustering. Through the experimental results on the RepLab2013 Twitter dataset, we show the effectiveness of the semantic-based K-means clustering algorithm.

Clustering methods are very useful in many fields such as data mining, classification, and object recognition. Both the supervised and unsupervised grouping approaches can classify a series of sample data with a predefined or automatically assigned cluster number. However, there is no constraint on the number of elements for each cluster. Numbers of cluster members for each cluster obtained from clustering schemes are usually random. Thus, some clusters possess a large number of elements whereas others only have a few members. In some areas such as logistics management, a fixed number of members are preferred for each cluster or logistic center. Consequently, it is necessary to design a clustering method that can automatically adjust the number of group elements. In this paper, a k-means based clustering method with a fixed number of cluster members is proposed. In the proposed method, first, the data samples are clustered using the k-means algorithm. Then, the number of group elements is adjusted by employing a greedy strategy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed clustering scheme can classify data samples efficiently for a fixed number of cluster members.

Most hyper-ellipsoidal clustering (HEC) approaches use the Mahalanobis distance as a distance metric. It has been proven that HEC, under this condition, cannot be realized since the cost function of partitional clustering is a constant. We demonstrate that HEC with a modified Gaussian kernel metric can be interpreted as a problem of finding condensed ellipsoidal clusters (with respect to the volumes and densities of the clusters) and propose a practical HEC algorithm that is able to efficiently handle clusters that are ellipsoidal in shape and that are of different size and density. We then try to refine the HEC algorithm by utilizing ellipsoids defined on the kernel feature space to deal with more complex-shaped clusters. The proposed methods lead to a significant improvement in the clustering results over K-means algorithm, fuzzy C-means algorithm, GMM-EM algorithm, and HEC algorithm based on minimum-volume ellipsoids using Mahalanobis distance.

The customer load profile clustering method is used to make the TDLP (Typical Daily Load Profile) to estimate the quarter hourly load profile of non-AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) customers. This study examines how the repeated clustering method improves the ability to discriminate among the TDLPs of each cluster. The k-means algorithm is a well-known clustering technology in data mining. Repeated clustering groups the cluster into sub-clusters with the k-means algorithm and chooses the sub-cluster that has the maximum average error and repeats clustering until the final cluster count is satisfied.

This paper proposes a hybrid algorithm combining K-means clustering and watershed algorithms for flower segmentation and counting. We use the K-means clustering algorithm to obtain the main colors in a complex background according to the cluster centers and then take a color space transformation to extract pixel values for the hue, saturation, and value of flower color. Next, we apply the threshold segmentation technique to segment flowers precisely and obtain the binary image of flowers. Based on this, we take the Euclidean distance transformation to obtain the distance map and apply it to find the local maxima of the connected components. Afterward, the proposed algorithm adaptively determines a minimum distance between each peak and apply it to label connected components using the watershed segmentation with eight-connectivity. On a dataset of 30 images, the test results reveal that the proposed method is more efficient and precise for the counting of overlapped flowers ignoring the degree of overlap, number of overlap, and relatively irregular shape.

Data clustering determines a group of patterns using similarity measure in a dataset and is one of the most important and difficult technique in data mining. Clustering can be formally considered as a particular kind of NP-hard grouping problem. K-means algorithm which is popular and efficient, is sensitive for initialization and has the possibility to be stuck in local optimum because of hill climbing clustering method. This method is also not computationally feasible in practice, especially for large datasets and large number of clusters. Therefore, we need a robust and efficient clustering algorithm to find the global optimum (not local optimum) especially when much data is collected from many IoT (Internet of Things) devices in these days. The objective of this paper is to propose new Hybrid Simulated Annealing (HSA) which is combined simulated annealing with K-means for non-hierarchical clustering of big data. Simulated annealing (SA) is useful for diversified search in large search space and K-means is useful for converged search in predetermined search space. Our proposed method can balance the intensification and diversification to find the global optimal solution in big data clustering. The performance of HSA is validated using Iris, Wine, Glass, and Vowel UCI machine learning repository datasets comparing to previous studies by experiment and analysis. Our proposed KSAK (K-means+SA+K-means) and SAK (SA+K-means) are better than KSA(K-means+SA), SA, and K-means in our simulations. Our method has significantly improved accuracy and efficiency to find the global optimal data clustering solution for complex, real time, and costly data mining process.

본 논문에서는 학습 예측이 가능한 군집적 알고리즘으로 COVID-19에서 상황인식정보인 질병의 속성정보와 클러스터링를 이용한 군집적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 클러스터링 내에서 처리되는 군집 데이터는 신규 또는 새롭게 입력되는 정보가 상호관계를 예측하기 위해 분류 제공되는데, 이때 새롭게 입력되는 정보가 비교정보에서 오염된 정보로 처리되면 기존 분류된 군집으로부터 벗어나게 되어 군집성을 저하시키는 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 COVID-19에서의 질병속성 정보내 K-means알고리즘을 이용함에 있어 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 질병 상호관계 정보 추출이 가능한 사용자 군집 분석 방식을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 자율적인 사용자 군집 특징의 상호관계를 분석학습하고 이를 통하여 사용자 질병속성간에 따른 클러스터를 구성해 사용자의 누적 정보로부터 클러스터의 중심점을 제공하게 된다. 논문에서 제안된 COVID-19의 다중질병 속성정보군집단위로 분류하고 학습하는 알고리즘은 적용한 모의실험 결과를 통해 사용자 관리 시스템의 예측정확도가 학습과정에서 향상됨을 보여주었다.

케이-평균 군집분석은 데이터들을 k개의 군집으로 임의로 분할을 하여 군집의 평균을 대푯값으로 분할해 나가는 방법으로 데이터들을 유사성을 바탕으로 재배치를 하는 방법이다. 이러한 케이-평균 군집분석은 시장조사, 패턴분석 및 인식, 그리고 이미지 처리 분야 등에서 폭넓게 응용되고 있다. 그러나 대용량의 데이터베이스를 분석대상으로 하므로 그 만큼 데이터 처리 시간이 많이 소요되는 것이 문제 중의 하나이다. 특히 웹이 보편화된 현재 사용자들의 다양한 패턴을 분석하기 위한 데이터 마이닝 방법이 사용되어지고 있는데 처리 속도 문제는 더욱 중요하게 생각하고 있다. 이러한 속도 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 분할 군집법에서 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 케이-평균 알고리즘에 대해 그리드를 기반으로 한 무게중심 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다.
