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%.

The purpose of this study is to develop a document clustering model for automatic classification of knowledge. Two test collections of newspaper article texts and journal article abstracts are built for the clustering experiment. Various feature reduction criteria as well as term weighting methods are applied to the term sets of the test collections, and cosine and Jaccard coefficients are used as similarity measures. The performances of complete linkage and K-means clustering algorithms are compared using different feature selection methods and various term weights. It was found that complete linkage clustering outperforms K-means algorithm and feature reduction up to almost 10% of the total feature sets does not lower the performance of document clustering to any significant extent.

In this paper, the multi-objective genetic algorithm is proposed for the document clustering which is important in the text mining field. The most important function in the document clustering algorithm is to group the similar documents in a corpus. So far, the k-means clustering and genetic algorithms are much in progress in this field. However, the k-means clustering depends too much on the initial centroid, the genetic algorithm has the disadvantage of coming off in the local optimal value easily according to the fitness function. In this paper, the multi-objective genetic algorithm is applied to the document clustering in order to complement these disadvantages while its accuracy is analyzed and compared to the existing algorithms. In our experimental results, the multi-objective genetic algorithm introduced in this paper shows the accuracy improvement which is superior to the k-means clustering(about 20 %) and the general genetic algorithm (about 17 %) for the document clustering.

Clustering methods is divided into hierarchical clustering, partitioning clustering, and more. If the amount of documents is huge, it takes too much time to cluster them in hierarchical clustering. In this paper we deal with K-Means algorithm that is one of partitioning clustering and is adequate to cluster so many documents rapidly and easily. We propose the new method of selecting initial seeds in K-Means algorithm. In this method, the initial seeds have been selected that are positioned as far away from each other as possible.

Fuzzy c-means (FCM) is a simple but efficient clustering algorithm using the concept of a fuzzy set that has been proved to be useful in many areas. There are, however, several well known problems with FCM, such as sensitivity to initialization, sensitivity to outliers, and limitation to convex clusters. In this paper, global fuzzy c-means (G-FCM) and kernel fuzzy c-means (K-FCM) are combined to form a non-linear variant of G-FCM, called kernel global fuzzy c-means (KG-FCM). G-FCM is a variant of FCM that uses an incremental seed selection method and is effective in alleviating sensitivity to initialization. There are several approaches to reduce the influence of noise and accommodate non-convex clusters, and K-FCM is one of them. K-FCM is used in this paper because it can easily be extended with different kernels. By combining G-FCM and K-FCM, KG-FCM can resolve the shortcomings mentioned above. The usefulness of the proposed method is demonstrated by experiments using artificial and real world data sets.

As the size of data increases, it becomes important to identify properties by analyzing big data. In this paper, we propose a k-Means based efficient clustering technique, called MCSKMeans (Multi centroid set k-Means), using distributed parallel processing framework MapReduce. A problem with the k-Means algorithm is that the accuracy of clustering depends on initial centroids created randomly. To alleviate this problem, the MCSK-Means algorithm reduces the dependency of initial centroids using sets consisting of k centroids. In addition, we apply the agglomerative hierarchical clustering technique for creating k centroids from centroids in m centroid sets which are the results of the clustering phase. In this paper, we implemented our MCSK-Means based on the MapReduce framework for processing big data efficiently.

Fast and high-quality document clustering algorithms play an important role in providing data exploration by organizing large amounts of information into a small number of meaningful clusters. Many papers have shown that the hierarchical clustering method takes good-performance, but is limited because of its quadratic time complexity. In contrast, with a large number of variables, K-means has a time complexity that is linear in the number of documents, but is thought to produce inferior clusters. In this paper, Condor system using K-Means algorithm Compares with regular method that the initial centroids have been established in advance, our method performance has been improved a lot.

Long gene sequences and their products have been studied by many methods. The use of DNA(Deoxyribonucleic acid) microarray technology has resulted in an enormous amount of data, which has been difficult to analyze using typical research methods. This paper proposes that mass data be analyzed using division clustering with the K-means clustering algorithm. To demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method, it was used to analyze the microarray data from rice DNA. The results were compared to those of the existing K-meansmethod establishing that the proposed method is more useful in spite of the effective reduction of performance time.

본 논문에서는 이 문서 클러스터링 방법 중 계층적 방법인 Kmeans 클러스터링 알고리즘을 이용하여 문서를 클러스터링 하고자 한다. 기존의 Kmeans 클러스터링 알고리즘은 문서의 수가 많을 경우 하나의 클러스터링에 너무 많은 문서들이 할당되는 문제점이 있다. 이 치우침을 완화하고자 각 클러스터링에 할당된 문서 수에 따라서 문서에 가중치를 부여한 후 다시 클러스터링을 하는 방법을 제안하였다. 실험 결과는 정확률, 재현율을 결합한 조화 평균(F-measure)을 사용하여 평가하였으며 기존 알고리즘보다 9％이상의 성능 향상을 나타냈다.
