The paper proposes the use of a neural network based real time adaptive clustering algorithm for the formation of a codebook of limited set of acoustical representation of finite set of vocal tract shapes from an articulatory space. A modified k-means algorithm (MKM) used for clustering nearly 10000 vocal tract shapes into 1000 cluster centers to form a codebook of articulatory shapes is computationally intensive for the application. An investigative study on the use of the NN based algorithm over the MKM algorithm at the peripheral level, for an application on computer aided pronunciation education, suggests the former for less intensive computation, with the possibility of improving the performance of the system by implementing the algorithm using a dedicated neural computer. Preliminary results of this study are reported.

Many cluster validity measures have been proposed up to now, and it is realized that no universally best measure exists. In this paper we propose kernelized validity measures where a kernel means the kernel function used in support vector machines. Two measures are considered: one is the sum of the traces of the fuzzy covariances within clusters. Why we consider the trace instead of the determinant is that the calculation of the determinant will be ill-posed when kernelized, while the trace is sound and easily computed. The second is a kernelized Xie-Beni's measure. These two measures are applied to the determination of the number of clusters having nonlinear boundaries generated by kernelized clustering algorithms. Another application of the measures is the evaluation of robustness of different algorithms with respect to variations of initial values and changes of a parameter.

The paper identifies the scope of improvement for the search result of a web site. The study includes some commonly used clustering algorithms to identify the usage of clustering approach for improving web elements analysis, in various ways. As the Search result option is extensively used at almost every web site, the main focus is to optimize search result of a web site using clustering approach. Sementic web using the concept of ontology is included, to retrieve more relevant and meaning full serach results. Some most commomly used algorithms are experimented using web data, and it is observed that K-Means clustering algorithm gives best result in term of accuracy and speed. Thus the proposed hybrid model will be using K-Means and Genetic algorithm to overcome the drawbacks of K-Means. The evaluation parameters; accuracy in terms of objects placement in correct cluster, relevancy, speed and user satisfaction are the main parameters considered for the study.

Multi-drone swarm has been widely used in disaster monitoring, mapping and remote sensing, national defense military and other fields, and has become a research hotspot in recent years. Due to the openness of its operating environment, attackers can invade the control system to capture drone, and then carry out data attacks such as tamper attack, drop attack and replay attack in drone ad-hoc network, which causes a great threat to the security of drone network. Existing malicious nodes detection algorithms are not efficient when applied to drone ad-hoc network, for the following reasons: (1) The malicious node detection algorithms based on reputation usually adopt a static threshold to determine whether a node is malicious, which is inefficient in dynamic drone network. (2) Mutual cooperation based malicious node detection algorithms rely on the high meeting probability of nodes. In order to solve the above problems, we propose a Malicious Drones Detection Algorithm(MDA) based on supervised learning and clustering algorithms. The ground station calculates the reputation value of each routing path according to the received packets from different source nodes, and then evaluates the reputation value of drones with linear regression algorithm. Finally, gaussian clustering algorithm is used to cluster drones and find out malicious drones. Experiments were conducted in indoor and outdoor drone network. The experimental results indicate that the accuracy of MDA outperforms the existing methods by 10% 20%. And in the case of fewer malicious nodes, the accuracy can reach more than 90%, and the error rate is less than 10%.

In competitive electricity markets, the distribution service providers have been given new degrees of freedom in formulating dedicated tariff offers to be applied to properly defined customer classes. For this purpose, they may take advantages from identifying the consumption patterns of their customers and grouping together customers exhibiting similar load diagrams. In this paper, we report on results obtained by using various unsupervised clustering algorithms (modified follow-the-leader, k-means, fuzzy k-means and two types of hierarchical clustering) and the self organising map to group together customers having a similar electrical behaviour. The customer classification is investigated in the paper by considering a set of 234 non-residential customers. Each customer is characterised by a set of values extracted from the load diagrams in a given loading condition. The effectiveness of the classifications obtained with the various algorithms has been compared in terms of a set of adequacy indicators based on properly defined metrics, some of which have been originally developed by the authors. The results show that the modified follow-the-leader and one type of hierarchical clustering exhibit better characteristics than the other algorithms in terms of adequacy.

This paper presents a new approach to fuzzy and possibilistic clustering based on reformulation. The reformulation of fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithms provides the basis for reformulating entropy constrained fuzzy clustering (ECFC) algorithms. This paper also proposes a generalized reformulation function and interprets both FCM and ECFC algorithms as special cases of the broad family of fuzzy and possibilistic clustering algorithms resulting from this approach. New clustering algorithms are also developed and compared experimentally with FCM and ECFC algorithms.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) always need energy as a part of the areas they are used. Therefore, they must use their energy in the most efficient way. One of the most important roles in ensuring energy efficiency for the WSN is creating clusters between sensor nodes. Choosing the most appropriate sensor node as Cluster Head (CH) among the clustered sensors according to the predetermined criteria decreases the energy consumption. In this study, the most frequent clustering algorithms in the literature are included and these algorithms are compared based on certain metrics. As a result of the comparison, advantages and disadvantages of clustering algorithms are indicated.

In order to control a nonlinear system, a model needs to be established to predict its behavior. At present, there are many methods for nonlinear system modeling. Among them T-S fuzzy prediction model has attracted extensive attention due to its better generalization and excellent approximation in the dense region. clustering algorithms can be used for the premise identification of the T-S model. But the optimal premise is not easy to be determined because of the difficulty to obtain optimal clustering number. For solving the shortcoming, a clustering validity function is described, based on which the clustering performance of adaptive fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm (adaptive FCM) is compared to that of the adaptive alternative fuzzy C-mean clustering algorithm (adaptive AFCM) with three datasets. Furthermore, two modeling algorithms for T-S fuzzy model using the adaptive FCM and the adaptive AFCM are designed, combining with the RLS, named adaptive FCM-RLS and adaptive AFCM-RLS. Finally, in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the modeling methods in this paper, the T-S fuzzy model of a batch progress is constructed by adaptive FCM-RLS. With the T-S model, fuzzy generalized predictive controller is designed. Simulation results show that fuzzy-GPC controller has the better performances than GPC controller desisned with least square method.

Remote sensing has proven to be an adequate tool for observation of changes to the Earth's surface. Especially modern space-borne sensors with very-high spatial resolution offer new capabilities for monitoring of dynamic urban environments. In this context, clustering is a well suited technique for unsupervised and thus highly automatic detection of changes. In this study, seven partitioning clustering algorithms from different methodological categories are evaluated regarding their suitability for unsupervised change detection. In addition, object-based feature sets of different characteristics are included in the analysis assessing their discriminative power for classification of changed against unchanged buildings. In general, the most important property of favorable algorithms is that they do not require additional arbitrary input parameters except the number of clusters. Best results were achieved based on the clustering algorithms k-means, partitioning around medoids, genetic k-means and self-organizing map clustering with accuracies in terms of κ statistics of 0.8 to 0.9 and beyond.

The paper considers the problem of clustering pixels of a color raster image. The task is to compare the effectiveness of three different clustering methods: k-means, DBSCAN, agglomerative clustering. The k-means and agglomerative clustering algorithms consider different numbers of clusters: 2, 5, 10, 15, 20. The effectiveness is assessed using the SSIM metric and visual analysis of the resulting images.
