Investigation of the J-TEXT plasma events by k-means clustering algorithm

Various types of plasma events emerge in specific parameter ranges and exhibit similar characteristics in diagnostic signals,which can be applied to identify these events.A semisupervised machine learning algorithm,the k-means clustering algorithm,is utilized to investigate and identify plasma events in the J-TEXT plasma.This method can cluster diverse plasma events with homogeneous features,and then these events can be identified if given few manually labeled examples based on physical understanding.A survey of clustered events reveals that the k-means algorithm can make plasma events(rotating tearing mode,sawtooth oscillations,and locked mode)gathering in Euclidean space composed of multi-dimensional diagnostic data,like soft x-ray emission intensity,edge toroidal rotation velocity,the Mirnov signal amplitude and so on.Based on the cluster analysis results,an approximate analytical model is proposed to rapidly identify plasma events in the J-TEXT plasma.The cluster analysis method is conducive to data markers of massive diagnostic data.

Hierarchical hesitant fuzzy K-means clustering algorithm

Due to the limitation and hesitation in one＇s knowledge, the membership degree of an element to a given set usually has a few different values, in which the conventional fuzzy sets are invalid. Hesitant fuzzy sets are a powerful tool to treat this case. The present paper focuses on investigating the clustering technique for hesitant fuzzy sets based on the K-means clustering algorithm which takes the results of hierarchical clustering as the initial clusters. Finally, two examples demonstrate the validity of our algorithm.

An efficient enhanced k-means clustering algorithm

In k-means clustering, we are given a set of n data points in d-dimensional space úd and an integer k and the problem is to determine a set of k points in úd, called centers, so as to minimize the mean squared distance from each data point to its nearest center. In this paper, we present a simple and efficient clustering algorithm based on the k-means algorithm, which we call en- hanced k-means algorithm. This algorithm is easy to implement, requiring a simple data structure to keep some information in each iteration to be used in the next iteration. Our experimental results demonstrated that our scheme can improve the computational speed of the k-means algorithm by the magnitude in the total number of distance calculations and the overall time of computation.

Comprehensive K-Means Clustering

The k-means algorithm is a popular data clustering technique due to its speed and simplicity. However, it is susceptible to issues such as sensitivity to the chosen seeds, and inaccurate clusters due to poor initial seeds, particularly in complex datasets or datasets with non-spherical clusters. In this paper, a Comprehensive K-Means Clustering algorithm is presented, in which multiple trials of k-means are performed on a given dataset. The clustering results from each trial are transformed into a five-dimensional data point, containing the scope values of the x and y coordinates of the clusters along with the number of points within that cluster. A graph is then generated displaying the configuration of these points using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), from which we can observe and determine the common clustering patterns in the dataset. The robustness and strength of these patterns are then examined by observing the variance of the results of each trial, wherein a different subset of the data keeping a certain percentage of original data points is clustered. By aggregating information from multiple trials, we can distinguish clusters that consistently emerge across different runs from those that are more sensitive or unlikely, hence deriving more reliable conclusions about the underlying structure of complex datasets. Our experiments show that our algorithm is able to find the most common associations between different dimensions of data over multiple trials, often more accurately than other algorithms, as well as measure stability of these clusters, an ability that other k-means algorithms lack.

Plant Leaf Diseases Classification Using Improved K-Means Clustering and SVM Algorithm for Segmentation

Several pests feed on leaves,stems,bases,and the entire plant,causing plant illnesses.As a result,it is vital to identify and eliminate the disease before causing any damage to plants.Manually detecting plant disease and treating it is pretty challenging in this period.Image processing is employed to detect plant disease since it requires much effort and an extended processing period.The main goal of this study is to discover the disease that affects the plants by creating an image processing system that can recognize and classify four different forms of plant diseases,including Phytophthora infestans,Fusarium graminearum,Puccinia graminis,tomato yellow leaf curl.Therefore,this work uses the Support vector machine(SVM)classifier to detect and classify the plant disease using various steps like image acquisition,Pre-processing,Segmentation,feature extraction,and classification.The gray level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM)and the local binary pattern features(LBP)are used to identify the disease-affected portion of the plant leaf.According to experimental data,the proposed technology can correctly detect and diagnose plant sickness with a 97.2 percent accuracy.

Quantitative Method of Classification and Discrimination of a Porous Carbonate Reservoir Integrating K-means Clustering and Bayesian Theory

Reservoir classification is a key link in reservoir evaluation.However,traditional manual means are inefficient,subjective,and classification standards are not uniform.Therefore,taking the Mishrif Formation of the Western Iraq as an example,a new reservoir classification and discrimination method is established by using the K-means clustering method and the Bayesian discrimination method.These methods are applied to non-cored wells to calculate the discrimination accuracy of the reservoir type,and thus the main reasons for low accuracy of reservoir discrimination are clarified.The results show that the discrimination accuracy of reservoir type based on K-means clustering and Bayesian stepwise discrimination is strongly related to the accuracy of the core data.The discrimination accuracy rate of TypeⅠ,TypeⅡ,and TypeⅤreservoirs is found to be significantly higher than that of TypeⅢand TypeⅣreservoirs using the method of combining K-means clustering and Bayesian theory based on logging data.Although the recognition accuracy of the new methodology for the TypeⅣreservoir is low,with average accuracy the new method has reached more than 82%in the entire study area,which lays a good foundation for rapid and accurate discrimination of reservoir types and the fine evaluation of a reservoir.

Clustering Countries on COVID-19 Data among Different Waves Using K-Means Clustering

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented spike in confirmed cases in 230 countries globally. In this work, a set of data from the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak has been subjected to two well-known unsupervised learning techniques: K-means clustering and correlation. The COVID-19 virus has infected several nations, and K-means automatically looks for undiscovered clusters of those infections. To examine the spread of COVID-19 before a vaccine becomes widely available, this work has used unsupervised approaches to identify the crucial county-level confirmed cases, death cases, recover cases, total_cases_per_million, and total_deaths_per_million aspects of county-level variables. We combined countries into significant clusters using this feature subspace to assist more in-depth disease analysis efforts. As a result, we used a clustering technique to examine various trends in COVID-19 incidence and mortality across nations. This technique took the key components of a trajectory and incorporates them into a K-means clustering process. We separated the trend lines into measures that characterize various features of a trend. The measurements were first reduced in dimension, then clustered using a K-means algorithm. This method was used to individually calculate the incidence and death rates and then compare them.

The average recognition rate can reach 90% when the SNR is 5 dB, and the method is easy to be achieved so that it has broad application prospect in the modulating recognition.

The k-means clustering algorithm is one of the most commonly used algorithms for clustering analysis. The traditional k-means algorithm is, however, inefficient while working on large numbers of data sets and improving the algorithm efficiency remains a problem.

The analysis has theoretical and practical importance for work on the improvement and parallelism of cluster algorithms.

An accelerated K-means clustering algorithm using selection and erasure rules

The K-means method is a well-known clustering algorithm with an extensive range of applications,such as biological classification,disease analysis,data mining,and image compression.However,the plain K-means method is not fast when the number of clusters or the number of data points becomes large.A modified K-means algorithm was presented by Fahim et al.(2006).The modified algorithm produced clusters whose mean square error was very similar to that of the plain K-means,but the execution time was shorter.In this study,we try to further increase its speed.There are two rules in our method:a selection rule,used to acquire a good candidate as the initial center to be checked,and an erasure rule,used to delete one or many unqualified centers each time a specified condition is satisfied.Our clustering results are identical to those of Fahim et al.(2006).However,our method further cuts computation time when the number of clusters increases.The mathematical reasoning used in our design is included.

Similarity matrix-based K-means algorithm for text clustering

K-means algorithm is one of the most widely used algorithms in the clustering analysis. To deal with the problem caused by the random selection of initial center points in the traditional al- gorithm, this paper proposes an improved K-means algorithm based on the similarity matrix. The im- proved algorithm can effectively avoid the random selection of initial center points, therefore it can provide effective initial points for clustering process, and reduce the fluctuation of clustering results which are resulted from initial points selections, thus a better clustering quality can be obtained. The experimental results also show that the F-measure of the improved K-means algorithm has been greatly improved and the clustering results are more stable.

Development of slope mass rating system using K-means and fuzzy c-means clustering algorithms

Classification systems such as Slope Mass Rating(SMR) are currently being used to undertake slope stability analysis. In SMR classification system, data is allocated to certain classes based on linguistic and experience-based criteria. In order to eliminate linguistic criteria resulted from experience-based judgments and account for uncertainties in determining class boundaries developed by SMR system,the system classification results were corrected using two clustering algorithms, namely K-means and fuzzy c-means(FCM), for the ratings obtained via continuous and discrete functions. By applying clustering algorithms in SMR classification system, no in-advance experience-based judgment was made on the number of extracted classes in this system, and it was only after all steps of the clustering algorithms were accomplished that new classification scheme was proposed for SMR system under different failure modes based on the ratings obtained via continuous and discrete functions. The results of this study showed that, engineers can achieve more reliable and objective evaluations over slope stability by using SMR system based on the ratings calculated via continuous and discrete functions.

Cluster analysis is one of the major data analysis methods widely used for many practical applications in emerging areas of data mining. A good clustering method will produce high quality clusters with high intra-cluster similarity and low inter-cluster similarity. Clustering techniques are applied in different domains to predict future trends of available data and its uses for the real world.

Results found in comparison study are satisfactory for the chosen application.

An Improved K-Means Algorithm Based on Initial Clustering Center Optimization

The K-means algorithm is widely known for its simplicity and fastness in text clustering.However,the selection of the initial clus?tering center with the traditional K-means algorithm is some random,and therefore,the fluctuations and instability of the clustering results are strongly affected by the initial clustering center.This paper proposed an algorithm to select the initial clustering center to eliminate the uncertainty of central point selection.The experiment results show that the improved K-means clustering algorithm is superior to the traditional algorithm.

DEM Fusion using a modified k-means clustering algorithm

Digital elevation models(DEMs)are a necessary dataset for modelling the Earth’s surface;however,all DEMs contain error.Researchers can reduce this error using DEM fusion techniques since numerous DEMs can be available for a region.However,the use of a clustering algorithm in DEM fusion has not been previously reported.In this study a new DEM fusion algorithm based on a clustering approach that works on multiple DEMs to exploit consistency in the estimates as indicators of accuracy and precision is presented.The fusion approach includes slope and elevation thresholding,k-means clustering of the elevation estimates at each cell location,as well as filtering and smoothing of the fusion product.Corroboration of the input DEMs,and the products of each step of the fusion algorithm,with a higher accuracy reference DEM enabled a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of the DEM fusion algorithm.The main findings of the research were:the k-means clustering of the elevations reduced the precision which also impacted the overall accuracy of the estimates;the number of final cluster members and the standard deviation of elevations before clustering both had a strong relationship to the error in the k-means estimates.
