We cluster the electricity consumption of households in A-apartment in Seoul, Korea using Hierarchical K-means clustering algorithm. The data is recorded from the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), and we focus on the electricity consumption during evening weekdays in summer. Compare to the conventional clustering algorithms, Hierarchical K-means clustering algorithm is recently applied to the electricity usage data, and it can identify usage patterns while reducing dimension. We apply Hierarchical K-means algorithm to the AMI data, and compare the results based on the various clustering validity indexes. The results show that the electricity usage patterns are well-identified, and it is expected to be utilized as a major basis for future applications in various fields.

This paper proposes a recommending system of the similar blogs gathered with similarities between blogs according to the similarity, dividing words, for each frequency, that individual blogs have. It improved the algorithm of k-means, using the model of the habits of white ants for better performance of clustering, and showed better performance of clustering as a result of evaluating and comparing with the existing algorithm of k-means as the improved algorithm. The recommending system of similar blog was designed and embodied, using the improved algorithm. TCA can reduce clustering time and the number of moving time for clustering compare with K-means algorithm.

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.

In this paper we proposed a fast method for a K-Means Clustering algorithm. The main characteristic of this method is that it uses precalculated data which possibility of change is high in order to speed up the algorithm. When calculating distance to cluster centre at each stage to assign nearest prototype in the clustering algorithm, it could reduce overall computation time by selecting only those data with possibility of change in cluster is high. Calculation time is reduced by using the distance information produced by K-Means algorithm when computing expected input data whose cluster may change, and by using such distance information the algorithm could be less affected by the number of dimensions. The proposed method was compared with original K-Means method - Lloyd's and the improved method KMHybrid. We show that our proposed method significantly outperforms in computation speed than Lloyd's and KMHybrid when using large size data which has large amount of data, great many dimensions and large number of clusters.

본 논문에서 k-means 군집화 알고리즘을 효율적으로 적용하는 방법을 제안했다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 특징을 속도 향상을 위해 예측 데이터를 이용한 것이다. 군집화 알고리즘의 각 단계에서 군집을 변경할 데이터만 최인접 군집을 계산함으로써 계산 시간을 줄일 수 있었다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능 비교를 위해서 KMHybrid 와 비교했다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 데이터의 차원이 큰 경우에 KMHybrid 보다 높은 속도 향상을 보였다.

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.

본 논문은 데이터의 군집화를 효율적으로 수행하기 위하여 새로운 군집화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안되는 군집화 알고리즘은 Fuzzy C-Means (FCM)에 기반을 두는데, FCM 알고리즘은 모든 데이터에 대한 거리에 기본을 둔 멤버쉽을 기초로 하기 때문에 잡음에 약한 제약을 지니고 있었다. 이를 개선하기 위하여, 제안되었던 PCM(Probabilistic C-Means), FPCM(Fuzzy PCM), PFCM(Probabilistic FCM) 등 여러가지 알고리즘이 제안 되었다. 그러나 이들 알고리즘들은 초기 파라미터값 설정과 과다한 계산양에 따른 문제가 증가하였으며, 또한 잡음에 어느 정도 민감한 문제점을 지니고 있었다. 이 논문에서는 잡음에 대해 효과적으로 대응할 수 있는 새로운 군집화 알고리즘을 제안하고, 전통적인 군집화를 위한 Iris 데이터에 대한 실험을 통하여 효용성을 확인하였다.

The amount of information is increasing rapidly with the development of the internet and the computer. Since these enormous information is managed by the document forms, it is necessary to search and process them efficiently. The document clustering technique which clusters the related documents through the similarity between the documents help to classify, search, and process the large amount of documents automatically. This paper proposes a method to find the initial seed points through principal component analysis when the documents represented by vectors in the feature vector space are clustered by K-means algorithm in order to increase clustering performance. The experiment shows that our method has a better performance than the traditional K-means algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a robust lip detection algorithm using color clustering. At first, we adopt AdaBoost algorithm to extract facial region and convert facial region into Lab color space. Because a and b components in Lab color space are known as that they could well express lip color and its complementary color, we use a and b component as the features for color clustering. The nearest neighbour clustering algorithm is applied to separate the skin region from the facial region and K-Means color clustering is applied to extract lip-candidate region. Then geometric characteristics are used to extract final lip region. The proposed algorithm can detect lip region robustly which has been shown by experimental results.

K-means clustering is an iterative algorithm in which items are moved among sets of clusters until the desired set is reached. K-means clustering has been widely used in many applications, such as market research, pattern analysis or recognition, image processing, etc. It can identify dense and sparse regions among data attributes or object attributes. But k-means algorithm requires many hours to get k clusters that we want, because it is more primitive, explorative. In this paper we propose a new method of k-means clustering using a center of gravity for grid-based sample. It is more fast than any traditional clustering method and maintains its accuracy.
