In this paper, we propose a novel technique that generate a new song with given example songs. Our system use k-th order Markov chain of which each state represents notes in a measure. Because we have to consider very high-dimensional space if we use notes in a measure as a state of Markov chain directly, we exploit a hierarchical clustering technique for given example songs to use each cluster as a state. Each given examples can be represented as sequences of cluster ID, and we use them for training data of the Markov chain. The resulting Markov chain effectively gives new song similar to given examples.

Clustering is a process of grouping similar or relevant documents into a cluster and assigning a meaningful concept to the cluster. By this process, clustering facilitates fast and correct search for the relevant documents by narrowing down the range of searching only to the collection of documents belonging to related clusters. For effective clustering, techniques are required for identifying similar documents and grouping them into a cluster, and discovering a concept that is most relevant to the cluster. One of the problems often appearing in this context is the detection of a complex concept that overlaps with several simple concepts at the same hierarchical level. Previous clustering methods were unable to identify and represent a complex concept that belongs to several different clusters at the same level in the concept hierarchy, and also could not validate the semantic hierarchical relationship between a complex concept and each of simple concepts. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a new clustering method that identifies and represents complex concepts efficiently. We developed the Hierarchical Overlapping Clustering (HOC) algorithm that modified the traditional Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering algorithm to allow overlapped clusters at the same level in the concept hierarchy. The HOC algorithm represents the clustering result not by a tree but by a lattice to detect complex concepts. We developed a system that employs the HOC algorithm to carry out the goal of complex concept detection. This system operates in three phases; 1) the preprocessing of documents, 2) the clustering using the HOC algorithm, and 3) the validation of semantic hierarchical relationships among the concepts in the lattice obtained as a result of clustering. The preprocessing phase represents the documents as x-y coordinate values in a 2-dimensional space by considering the weights of terms appearing in the documents. First, it goes through some refinement process by applying stopwords removal and stemming to extract index terms. Then, each index term is assigned a TF-IDF weight value and the x-y coordinate value for each document is determined by combining the TF-IDF values of the terms in it. The clustering phase uses the HOC algorithm in which the similarity between the documents is calculated by applying the Euclidean distance method. Initially, a cluster is generated for each document by grouping those documents that are closest to it. Then, the distance between any two clusters is measured, grouping the closest clusters as a new cluster. This process is repeated until the root cluster is generated. In the validation phase, the feature selection method is applied to validate the appropriateness of the cluster concepts built by the HOC algorithm to see if they have meaningful hierarchical relationships. Feature selection is a method of extracting key features from a document by identifying and assigning weight values to important and representative terms in the document. In order to correctly select key features, a method is needed to determine how each term contributes to the class of the document. Among several methods achieving this goal, this paper adopted the $x^2$�� statistics, which measures the dependency degree of a term t to a class c, and represents the relationship between t and c by a numerical value. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the HOC algorithm, a series of performance evaluation is carried out by using a well-known Reuter-21578 news collection. The result of performance evaluation showed that the HOC algorithm greatly contributes to detecting and producing complex concepts by generating the concept hierarchy in a lattice structure.

In this paper, we proposed the new fuzzy pattern classifier which combines several fuzzy models with simple consequent parts hierarchically. The basic component of the proposed fuzzy pattern classifier with hierarchical structure is a fuzzy model with simple consequent part so that the complexity of the proposed fuzzy pattern classifier is not high. In order to analyze and divide the input space, we use Fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm. In addition, we exploit Conditional Fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm to analyze the sub space which is divided by Fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm. At each clustered region, we apply a fuzzy model with simple consequent part and build the fuzzy pattern classifier with hierarchical structure. Because of the hierarchical structure of the proposed pattern classifier, the data distribution of the input space can be analyzed in the macroscopic point of view and the microscopic point of view. Finally, in order to evaluate the classification ability of the proposed pattern classifier, the machine learning data sets are used.

Clustering method is divided into hierarchical clustering, partitioning clustering, and more. K-Means algorithm is one of partitioning clustering and is adequate to cluster so many documents rapidly and easily. It has disadvantage that the random initial centers cause different result. So, the better choice is to place them as far away as possible from each other. We propose a new method of selecting initial centers in K-Means clustering. This method uses triangle height for initial centers of clusters. After that, the centers are distributed evenly and that result is more accurate than initial cluster centers selected random. It is time-consuming, but can reduce total clustering time by minimizing the number of allocation and recalculation. We can reduce the time spent on total clustering. Compared with the standard algorithm, average consuming time is reduced 38.4%.

Unstructured peer-to-peer systems are most commonly used in today's internet. But file placement is random in these systems and no correlation exists between peers and their contents. There is no guarantee that flooding queries will find the desired data. In this paper, we propose to cluster nodes in unstructured P2P systems using the agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithm to improve the search method. We compared the delay time of clustering the nodes between our proposed algorithm and the k-means clustering algorithm. We also simulated the delay time of locating data in a network topology and recorded the overhead of the system using our proposed algorithm, k-means clustering, and without clustering. Simulation results show that the delay time of our proposed algorithm is shorter compared to other methods and resource overhead is also reduced.

Recently there are many bibliometric studies attempting to utilize Pathfinder networks(PFNets) for examining and analyzing the intellectual structure of a scholarly field. Pathfinder network scaling has many advantages over traditional multidimensional scaling, including its ability to represent local details as well as global intellectual structure. However there are some limitations in PFNets including very high time complexity. And Pathfinder network scaling cannot be combined with cluster analysis, which has been combined well with traditional multidimensional scaling method. In this paper, a new method named as Parallel Nearest Neighbor Clustering (PNNC) are proposed for complementing those weak points of PFNets. Comparing the clustering performance with traditional hierarchical agglomerative clustering methods shows that PNNC is not only a complement to PFNets but also a fast and powerful clustering method for organizing informations.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 노드는 배터리로 동작하지만 충전이나 교체가 어렵기 때문에 에너지를 효율적으로 사용하는 것이 중요하다. 따라서 에너지 효율적인 통신 프로토콜 방법으로 클러스터링 기반 통신 구조를 사용한다. 그리고 에너지 소비 패턴을 균일하게 하기 위해 클러스터를 재구축한다. 대표적인 클러스터링 기반 통신 프로토콜로 LEACH 프로토콜이 있다. 그러나 CH 노드가 랜덤으로 선택되기 때문에, CH 노드들의 분포가 균일하지 못하거나 한곳에 몰려 있을 수 있고, CH 노드에서 싱크노드까지의 거리가 멀다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 LEACH 프로토콜의 단점을 해결하기 위한 알고리즘으로 CH 노드를 네트워크 전체에 균일하게 분포시키고 CH 노드에서 싱크노드까지 계층적으로 데이터를 전송하는 클러스터링 기법을 제안하였다.
