When Web-based special retrieval systems for scientific field extremely restrict the expression of user's information request, the process of the information content analysis and that of the information acquisition become inconsistent. In this paper, we apply the fuzzy retrieval model to solve the high time complexity of the retrieval system by constructing a reduced term set for the term's relatively importance degree. Furthermore, we perform a cluster retrieval to reflect the user's Query exactly through the similarity relation matrix satisfying the characteristics of the fuzzy compatibility relation. We have proven the performance of a proposed re-ranking model based on the similarity union of the fuzzy retrieval model and the document cluster retrieval model.

In general, exploratory data analysis consists of three processes: i) assessment of clustering tendency, ii) cluster analysis, and iii) cluster validation. This analysis method requiring a number of iterations of step ii) and iii) to converge is computationally inefficient. In this paper, we propose a density function-based approximate fuzzy clustering method with a hierachical structure which consosts of two phases: Phase I is a features(i.e., number of clusters and cluster centers) extraction process based on the tendency assessment of a given data and Phase II is a standard FCM with the cluster centers intialized by the results of the Phase I. Numerical examples are presented to show the validity of the proposed clustering method.

In this paper, we present a method for clustering incomplete Microarray data using alternating optimization in which a prior imputation method is not required. To reduce the influence of imputation in preprocessing, we take an alternative optimization approach to find better estimates during iterative clustering process. This method improves the estimates of missing values by exploiting the cluster Information such as cluster centroids and all available non-missing values in each iteration. The clustering results of the proposed method are more significantly relevant to the biological gene annotations than those of other methods, indicating its effectiveness and potential for clustering incomplete gene expression data.

The focus of this paper is on devising an efficient clustering task for arbitrary color data. In order to tackle this problem, the inherent uncertainty and vagueness of color are represented by a fuzzy color model. By taking a fuzzy approach to color representation, the proposed model makes a soft decision for the vague regions between neighboring colors. A definition on a three-dimensional fuzzy color ball is introduced, and the degree of membership of color is computed by employing a distance measure between a fuzzy color and color data. With the fuzzy color model, a novel fuzzy clustering algorithm for efficient partition of color data is developed.

Clustering, a technique for the analysis of the genes, organizes the patterns into groups by the similarity of the dataset and has been used for identifying the functions of the genes in the cluster or analyzing the functions of unknown gones. Since the genes usually belong to multiple functional families, fuzzy clustering methods are more appropriate than the conventional hard clustering methods which assign a sample to a group. In this paper, a Bayesian validation method is proposed to evaluate the fuzzy partitions effectively. Bayesian validation method is a probability-based approach, selecting a fuzzy partition with the largest posterior probability given the dataset. At first, the proposed Bayesian validation method is compared to the 4 representative conventional fuzzy cluster validity measures in 4 well-known datasets where foray c-means algorithm is used. Then, we have analyzed the results of Saccharomyces cell cycle expression data evaluated by the proposed method.

In these days, malicious codes have become reality and evolved significantly to become one of the greatest threats to the modern society where important information is stored, processed, and accessed through the internet and the computers. Computer virus is a common type of malicious codes. The standard techniques in anti-virus industry is still based on signatures matching. The detection mechanism searches for a signature pattern that identifies a particular virus or stain of viruses. Though more accurate in detecting known viruses, the technique falls short for detecting new or unknown viruses for which no identifying patterns present. To cope with this problem, anti-virus software has to incorporate the learning mechanism and heuristic. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy diagnosis system(FDS) using fuzzy c-means algorithm(FCM) for the cluster analysis and a decision status measure for giving a diagnosis. We compare proposed system FDS to three well known classifiers-KNN, RF, SVM. Experimental results show that the proposed approach can detect unknown viruses effectively.

We consider the Fuzzy clustering which is devised for partitioning a set of objects into a certain number of groups by assigning the membership probabilities to each object. The researches carried out in this field before show that the Fuzzy clustering concept is involved so much that for a certain set of data, the main purpose of the clustering cannot be attained as desired. Thus we propose a new objective function, named as Fuzzy-Entroppy Function in order to satisfy the main motivation of the clustering which is classifying the data clearly. Also we suggest Mean Field Annealing Algorithm as an optimization algorithm rather than the ISODATA used traditionally in this field since the objective function is changed. we show the Mean Field Annealing Algorithm works pretty well not only for the new objective function but also for the classical Fuzzy objective function by indicating that the local minimum problem resulted from the ISODATA can be improved.

강수는 지역에 따라 발생양상이 매우 다른 자연현상 중 하나이다. 이러한 강수를 효과적으로 분석하여 확률강수량을 산정하기위해서 수문학에서는 다양한 방법이 시도되어 왔다. 우리나라에서는 지점빈도해석을 통한 확률강수량을 주로 사용해왔으나 최근 들어 Hosking and Wallis(1997)가 제안한 지역빈도해석을 활용을 적극 도모 하고 있는 중이다. 이러한 지역빈도해석 기법은 지점빈도해석 기법에 비하여 한정된 강수자료를 활용하는 측면 등 여러 가지 장점을 가진 확률 강수량 산정방법이다. 그러나 이 기법을 적용하여 확률강수량을 산정하기 위해서는 강수의 지역구분을 먼저 수행하여야 한다. 강수지역의 구분을 위해서는 여러 가지 기법이 존재하나 최근에는 Cluster 기법 중 K-means 방법이나 Fuzzy c-means 방법 등을 주로 적용하여 지역구분을 수행하고 있다. 그러나 K-means 방법이나 Fuzzy c-means 방법 등은 산정 방법내에서 최적 군집수를 결정할 수 있는 알고리즘이 없기 때문에 임의적으로 최적 군집수를 결정하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 Cluster 평가지수 중 하나인 Dunn 지수를 이용하여 최적 군집수를 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 강수지역을 구분하기 위하여 적용한 인자는 월 평균 강수량, 연 평균 강수량, 월 최대 강수량, 경도, 위도, 고도 등이며, 이를 K-means, PAM 및 친근도 전파 기법을 통하여 강수지역을 구분하였다. 적정 군집수를 임의적으로 증가시켜 가면서 Dunn 지수를 산정하였다. 산정된 결과를 통하여 최적 군집수를 결정하였다.

Feature selection is a preprocessing technique commonly used on high dimensional data. Feature selection studies how to select a subset or list of attributes that are used to construct models describing data. Feature selection methods attempt to explore data's intrinsic properties by employing statistics or information theory. The recent developments have involved approaches like correlation method, dimensionality reduction and mutual information technique. This feature selection have become the focus of much research in areas of applications with massive and complex data sets. In this paper, we provide a feature selection method considering data characteristics and generalization capability. It provides a computational approach for feature selection based on fuzzy cluster analysis of its attribute values and its performance measures. And we apply it to the system for classifying computer virus and compared with heuristic method using the contrast concept. Experimental result shows the proposed approach can give a feature ranking, select the features, and improve the system performance.
