Estimation of the Number of Clusters Using Multiple Clustering Validity Indices
One of the challenges in unsupervised machine learning is finding the number of clusters in a dataset. Clustering Validity Indices (CVI) are popular tools used to address this pro...

Involving Validity Indices in Document Clustering
The goal of any clustering algorithm is to find the optimal clustering solution with the optimal number of clusters. In order to evaluate a clustering solution, a number of validit...

Automatic Cluster Number Selection Using a Split and Merge K-Means Approach
Abstract—The k-means method is a simple and fast clustering technique that exhibits the problem of specifying the optimal number of clusters preliminarily. We address the problem...
