Hybrid Clustering Using Firefly Optimization and Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm

Classifying the data into a meaningful group is one of the fundamental ways of understanding and learning the valuable information. High-quality clustering methods are necessary for the valuable and efficient analysis of the increasing data. The Firefly Algorithm (FA) is one of the bio-inspired algorithms and it is recently used to solve the clustering problems. In this paper, Hybrid F-Firefly algorithm is developed by combining the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) with FA to improve the clustering accuracy with global optimum solution. The Hybrid F-Firefly algorithm is developed by incorporating FCM operator at the end of each iteration in FA algorithm. This proposed algorithm is designed to utilize the goodness of existing algorithm and to enhance the original FA algorithm by solving the shortcomings in the FCM algorithm like the trapping in local optima and sensitive to initial seed points. In this research work, the Hybrid F-Firefly algorithm is implemented and experimentally tested for various performance measures under six different benchmark datasets. From the experimental results, it is observed that the Hybrid F-Firefly algorithm significantly improves the intra-cluster distance when compared with the existing algorithms like K-means, FCM and FA algorithm.

Fuzzy Fruit Fly Optimized Node Quality-Based Clustering Algorithm for Network Load Balancing

Recently,the fundamental problem with Hybrid Mobile Ad-hoc Net-works(H-MANETs)is tofind a suitable and secure way of balancing the load through Internet gateways.Moreover,the selection of the gateway and overload of the network results in packet loss and Delay(DL).For optimal performance,it is important to load balance between different gateways.As a result,a stable load balancing procedure is implemented,which selects gateways based on Fuzzy Logic(FL)and increases the efficiency of the network.In this case,since gate-ways are selected based on the number of nodes,the Energy Consumption(EC)was high.This paper presents a novel Node Quality-based Clustering Algo-rithm(NQCA)based on Fuzzy-Genetic for Cluster Head and Gateway Selection(FGCHGS).This algorithm combines NQCA with the Improved Weighted Clus-tering Algorithm(IWCA).The NQCA algorithm divides the network into clusters based upon node priority,transmission range,and neighbourfidelity.In addition,the simulation results tend to evaluate the performance effectiveness of the FFFCHGS algorithm in terms of EC,packet loss rate(PLR),etc.

Abnormal State Detection of OLTC Based on Improved Fuzzy C-means Clustering

An accurate extraction of vibration signal characteristics of an on-load tap changer(OLTC)during contact switching can effectively help detect its abnormal state.Therefore,an improved fuzzy C-means clustering method for abnormal state detection of the OLTC contact is proposed.First,the wavelet packet and singular spectrum analysis are used to denoise the vibration signal generated by the moving and static contacts of the OLTC.Then,the Hilbert-Huang transform that is optimized by the ensemble empirical mode decomposition(EEMD)is used to decompose the vibration signal and extract the boundary spectrum features.Finally,the gray wolf algorithm-based fuzzy C-means clustering is used to denoise the signal and determine the abnormal states of the OLTC contact.An analysis of the experimental data shows that the proposed secondary denoising method has a better denoising effect compared to the single denoising method.The EEMD can improve the modal aliasing effect,and the improved fuzzy C-means clustering can effectively identify the abnormal state of the OLTC contacts.The analysis results of field measured data further verify the effectiveness of the proposed method and provide a reference for the abnormal state detection of the OLTC.

CONSIDERING NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATION IN IMAGE FUZZY CLUSTERING

Fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is a classical non-supervised classification method.For image classification, fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm makes decisions on a pixel-by-pixel basis and does not take advantage of spatial information, regardless of the pixels' correlation. In this letter, a novel fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is introduced, which is based on image's neighborhood system. During classification procedure, the novel algorithm regards all pixels'fuzzy membership as a random field. The neighboring pixels' fuzzy membership information is used for the algorithm's iteration procedure. As a result, the algorithm gives a more smooth classification result and cuts down the computation time.

Agent Based Segmentation of the MRI Brain Using a Robust C-Means Algorithm

In the last decade, the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) image segmentation has become one of the most active research fields in the medical imaging domain. Because of the fuzzy nature of the MRI images, many researchers have adopted the fuzzy clustering approach to segment them. In this work, a fast and robust multi-agent system (MAS) for MRI segmentation of the brain is proposed. This system gets its robustness from a robust c-means algorithm (RFCM) and obtains its fastness from the beneficial properties of agents, such as autonomy, social ability and reactivity. To show the efficiency of the proposed method, we test it on a normal brain brought from the BrainWeb Simulated Brain Database. The experimental results are valuable in both robustness to noise and running times standpoints.

In this letter, a new method is proposed for unsupervised classification of terrain types and man-made objects using POLarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (POLSAR) data. This technique is a combi-nation of the usage of polarimetric information of SAR images and the unsupervised classification method based on fuzzy set theory. Image quantization and image enhancement are used to preprocess the POLSAR data. Then the polarimetric information and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm are used to classify the preprocessed images. The advantages of this algorithm are the automated classification, its high classifica-tion accuracy, fast convergence and high stability. The effectiveness of this algorithm is demonstrated by ex-periments using SIR-C/X-SAR (Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar) data.

Improved Kernel Possibilistic Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm Based on Invasive Weed Optimization

Fuzzy c-means(FCM) clustering algorithm is sensitive to noise points and outlier data, and the possibilistic fuzzy c-means(PFCM) clustering algorithm overcomes the problem well, but PFCM clustering algorithm has some problems: it is still sensitive to initial clustering centers and the clustering results are not good when the tested datasets with noise are very unequal. An improved kernel possibilistic fuzzy c-means algorithm based on invasive weed optimization(IWO-KPFCM) is proposed in this paper. This algorithm first uses invasive weed optimization(IWO) algorithm to seek the optimal solution as the initial clustering centers, and introduces kernel method to make the input data from the sample space map into the high-dimensional feature space. Then, the sample variance is introduced in the objection function to measure the compact degree of data. Finally, the improved algorithm is used to cluster data. The simulation results of the University of California-Irvine(UCI) data sets and artificial data sets show that the proposed algorithm has stronger ability to resist noise, higher cluster accuracy and faster convergence speed than the PFCM algorithm.

Clustering： from Clusters to Knowledge

Data analysis and automatic processing is often interpreted as knowledge acquisition. In many cases it is necessary to somehow classify data or find regularities in them. Results obtained in the search of regularities in intelligent data analyzing applications are mostly represented with the help of IF-THEN rules. With the help of these rules the following tasks are solved： prediction, classification, pattern recognition and others. Using different approaches---clustering algorithms, neural network methods, fuzzy rule processing methods--we can extract rules that in an understandable language characterize the data. This allows interpreting the data, finding relationships in the data and extracting new rules that characterize them. Knowledge acquisition in this paper is defined as the process of extracting knowledge from numerical data in the form of rules. Extraction of rules in this context is based on clustering methods K-means and fuzzy C-means. With the assistance of K-means, clustering algorithm rules are derived from trained neural networks. Fuzzy C-means is used in fuzzy rule based design method. Rule extraction methodology is demonstrated in the Fisher＇s Iris flower data set samples. The effectiveness of the extracted rules is evaluated. Clustering and rule extraction methodology can be widely used in evaluating and analyzing various economic and financial processes.

Interactive Protein Data Clustering

In this paper, the authors present three different algorithms for data clustering. These are Self-Organizing Map （SOM）, Neural Gas （NG） and Fuzzy C-Means （FCM） algorithms. SOM and NG algorithms are based on competitive leaming. An important property of these algorithms is that they preserve the topological structure of data. This means that data that is close in input distribution is mapped to nearby locations in the network. The FCM algorithm is an algorithm based on soft clustering which means that the different clusters are not necessarily distinct, but may overlap. This clustering method may be very useful in many biological problems, for instance in genetics, where a gene may belong to different clusters. The different algorithms are compared in terms of their visualization of the clustering of proteomic data.
