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...
In this article, we evaluate the performance of three clustering algorithms, hard K-Means, single linkage, and a simulated annealing (SA) based technique, in conjunction with four ...
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...
Clustering attempts to discover significant groups present in a data set. It is an unsupervised process. It is difficult to define when a clustering result is acceptable. Thus,...
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...
