一种改进的粒子群优化快速聚类算法

提出了一种改进的基于粒子群优化的快速K均值算法,有效克服了K均值算法对初始聚类中心敏感和容易陷入局部最优从而影响聚类效果等缺点.与已有的粒子群优化聚类算法相比,该算法通过对样本各维属性进行规范化,预先计算样本的相异度矩阵,提出了一种简化的粒子的编码规则,基于相异度矩阵进行粒子群优化K均值聚类,在保证聚类效果的基础上,有效降低了计算的复杂度.在多个UCI数据集上的实验结果表明,该算法是有效的。

Improved PSO-based fast clustering algorithm

This paper presents an improved particle swarm optimization based fast K-means algorithm which effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the K-means algorithm such as sensitive to initial cluster centroid and easiness to fall into local optimum so as to affect the clustering results.Compared with the existing particle clustering algorithm,is algorithm first normalizes the attributes of all the samples,and then computes the dissimilarity matrix.We propose simplified particle encoding rules and use PSO-based K-means clustering based on the dissimilarity matrix to ensure the basis for the clustering effect and reduce computational complexity.Experimental results on several UCI data sets validate the advantages of the proposed algorithm.
