In this blog, we will explore the meaning, methods, and requirements of clustering in data mining, shedding light on its significance and providing a comprehensive overview of the techniques involved. Table of Contents What is Clustering in Data Mining? What are the Data Mining Algorithm Techniques?
● Dynamic data in the database implies that cluster membership may change over time. ● Interpreting the semantic meaning of each cluster may be difficult. With classification, the labeling of the classes is known ahead of time. However, with clustering, this may not be the case. Thus, when...
The ICT evolution has driven on the creation of a capable society, in providing new kinds and type of information. The gathered information is stored continuously, meaning that a great amount of databases has to be created. The problem that arises is whether there is a global manner of ...
An Alternative Extension of the K-Means Algorithm for Clustering Medical Data Data clustering is a very powerful technique in many application areas. Not only may the clusters have meaning themselves, but clustering allows for effici... R Nedunchezhian,V Pattabiraman - 《Data Mining & Knowledge...
K-means is a hard clustering approach, meaning each data point is assigned to a separate cluster and no probability associated with cluster membership. K-means works well when the clusters are of roughly equivalent size, and there are not significant outliers or changes in density across the dat...
Although feature selection can simply be used as a solution to high-dimensional problems, elimination process however might lead to some loss of important information that have strong meaning in different context, i.e., in different subspaces. In this light, subspace search [11], a combinatorial...
i) A set of relatively good kernel bandwidths versus a globally optimal kernel bandwidth. Our experimental results reveal that using a set of relatively good kernel bandwidths, the proposed density-based method could also obtain very desirable performance. This is of practical meaning, since kernel...

(i) it usually contains many irrelevant dimensions which hide the clusters, (ii) the distance, which is the most common similarity measure in most of the methods, loses its meaning in high dimensions, and (iii) different clusters may exist in different subsets of dimensions in high dimensional...
