The conventional K-means algorithm is widely used in vector quantizer design and clustering analysis. Recently modified K-means algorithm has been proposed where the codevector updating step is as fallows: new codevector = current codevector + scale factor (new centroid - current codevector). This algorithm uses a fixed value for the scale factor. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for the enhancement of learning time in fuzzy c-means a1gorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed method produces codebooks about 5 to 6 times faster than the conventional K-means algorithm with almost the same Performance.

Fuzzy k-means clustering is an attractive alternative to the ordinary k-means clustering in analyzing multivariate data. Fuzzy versions yield more natural output by allowing overlapped k groups. In this study, we modify a fuzzy k-means clustering algorithm to be used for undirected social networks, apply the algorithm to both real and simulated cases, and report the results.

Gustafson and Kessel proposed a modified fuzzy c-Means algorithm based of the Mahalanobis distance. Though the algorithm appears more natural through the use of a fuzzy covariance matrix, it needs to calculate determinants and inverses of the c-fuzzy scatter matrices. This paper proposes a fuzzy clustering algorithm using pseudo mahalanobis distance, which is more easy to use and flexible than the Gustafson and Kessel's fuzzy c-Means.

In this paper, a new design methodology of the fuzzy controller is presented. The performance of the fuzzy controller is sensitive to the variety of scaling factors. The design procedure is based on evolutionary computing (more specifically, a genetic algorithm) and estimation algorithm to adjust and estimate scaling factors respectively. The tuning of the soiling factors of the fuzzy controller is essential to the entire optimization process. And then we estimate scaling factors of the fuzzy controller by means of two types of estimation algorithms such as HCM (Hard C-Means) and Neuro-Fuzzy model[7]. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed estimation algorithm for the fuzzy controller are demonstrated by the inverted pendulum system.

This paper introduces the fuzzy scatter partition-based fuzzy inference system to construct the model for nonlinear process to analyze nonlinear characteristics. The fuzzy rules of fuzzy inference systems are generated by partitioning the input space in the scatter form using Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm. The premise parameters of the rules are determined by membership matrix by means of FCM clustering algorithm. The consequence part of the rules is represented in the form of polynomial functions and the parameters of the consequence part are estimated by least square errors. The proposed model is evaluated with the performance using the data widely used in nonlinear process. Finally, this paper shows that the proposed model has the good result for high-dimension nonlinear process.

The fuzzy set theory has been wide used in clustering of machine learning with data mining since fuzzy theory has been introduced in 1960s. In particular, fuzzy C-means algorithm is a popular fuzzy clustering algorithm up to date. An element is assigned to any cluster with each membership value using fuzzy C-means algorithm. This algorithm is affected from the location of initial cluster center and the proper cluster size like a general clustering algorithm as K-means algorithm. This setting up for initial clustering is subjective. So, we get improper results according to circumstances. In this paper, we propose a cluster merging using enhanced density based fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm for solving this problem. Our algorithm determines initial cluster size and center using the properties of training data. Proposed algorithm uses grid for deciding initial cluster center and size. For experiments, objective machine learning data are used for performance comparison between our algorithm and others.

In this paper a new fuzzy clustering approach to the color clustering problem has been proposed. To deal with the limitations of the traditional FCM algorithm, we propose a spatial homogeneity-based FCM algorithm. Moreover, the cluster validity index is employed to automatically determine the number of clusters for a given image. We refer to this method as VS-FCM algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through various clustering examples.

기존의 K-means 알고리즘은 학습벡터가 단일군집에 할당되는 방법이 crisp 이므로 다른 군집에 할당될 확률을 무시하게 된다. 따라서 군집화 작업과 관련하여 반복적인 코드북 설계 과정에서 각 학습벡터를 다중 군집으로 할당하는 Fuzzy c-means를 사용한다. 또한 Fuzzy c-means 알고리즘의 학습과정에서 구해지는 각 클래스 의 프로토타입에 가중치를 곱하여 다음 학습의 프로토타입으로 사용함으로써 Fuzzy c-means 알고리즘 적용 결과 얻어지는 코트북의 성능을 기존 알고리즘과 비교하여 개선된 Fuzzy c-means 알고리즘을 찾기 위한 근거를 마련한다.

This paper presents a type-2 fuzzy C-means (FCM) algorithm that is an extension of the conventional fuzzy C-means algorithm. In our proposed method, the membership values for each pattern are extended as type-2 fuzzy memberships by assigning membership grades to the type-1 memberships. In doing so, cluster centers that are estimated by type-2 memberships may converge to a more desirable location than cluster centers obtained by a type-1 FCM method in the presence of noise.

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.
