The effect of partial volume related to anatomical MRI and functional images limit the diagnostic potential of brain imaging. To remedy for this problem, we propose a fuzzy-genetic brain segmentation scheme for the assessment of white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal fluid volumes, from brain images of Alzheimer patients from a real database. This clustering process based on Possibilisticc-means (PcM) algorithm, which allows modeling the degree of relationship between each voxels and a given tissue;and based on fuzzy genetic initialization for the centers of clusters by a fuzzyc-means (FcM) algorithm, and for which the result is optimized by genetic process. The visual results show a concordance between the ground truth segmentation and the hybrid algorithm results, which allows efficient tissue classification. The superiority was also proved with the quantitative results of the proposed method in comparison with the both conventional FcM and PcM algorithms.

Trust is an agent's expectation of other agent's capability, which needs to be confirmed by experience of various peer agents in application domain about capability of agent. Majority view of peer agents materializes into reputation of agent. In our model trustier agent computes reputation based on its own experience as well as experience peer agents have with trustee agent. The trustier agent interacts with peer agents to get their experience information inform of recommendations. The concept of reputation is subjective and Intuitionisticfuzzy Sets (IFS) are used in this paper to model reputation. fuzzy hierarchical agglomerative clustering is done to filter off the noise in IFS recommendations in form of outliers by cutting dendogram at required similarity level. The cluster with maximum number of elements denotes views of majority of recommenders and its center represents reputation Of trustee agent, which is computed using fuzzy c-means algorithm.

fuzzyc-means (FcM) algorithm is one of effective methods for fuzzycluster analysis, which has widely used in unsupervised pattern classification. To consider the different contribution of each dimensional feature of the given samples to be classified, this paper presents a novel FcM clustering algorithm based on feature weighted. With clustering validity function as criterion, the proposed algorithm optimizes the weight matrix using evolutionary strategy and obtains better result than the traditional one, which enriches the theory of FcM-type algorithms. The test experiment with real data of IRIS demonstrates the effectiveness of the novel algorithm.

This paper proposes an algorithm named Tower Layered FcM to improve the traditional FcM method. A Tower layered structure with a constraint is added into the objective function and pixel's neighbor information is rational used. The Tower layered structure can speed up the algorithm and constraint the subordinate degree of pixels. So the subordinate degree of clustering center is made more reasonable. The experimental result shows that the new algorithmcan save detail image information and it is more efficient than the traditional FcM.

Data mining is one of the interesting research areas in database technology. In data mining, a cluster is a set of data objects that are similar to one another with in a cluster and are different to the entities in the former clusters. clustering is the efficient method in data mining in order to process huge data sets. The core methodology of clustering is used in many domains like academic result analysis of institutions. Also, the methods are very well suited in machine learning, clustering in medical dataset, pattern recognition, image mining, information retrieval and bioinformatics. The clustering algorithms are categorized based upon different research phenomenon. Varieties of algorithms have recently occurred and were effectively applied to real-life data mining problems. This survey mainly focuses on partition based clustering algorithms namely k-means, k-Medoids and fuzzyc-means In particular, they applied mostly in medical data sets. The importance of the survey is to explore the various applications in different domains.

This paper presents a novel image processing procedure dedicated to the automated detection of the medial axis of the root canal from dental micro cT records. The 3D model of root canal is built up from several hundreds of parallel cross sections, using image enhancement and segmentation, center point detection in the segmented slice, three dimensional inner surface reconstruction and morphological skeleton extraction in three dimensions. The central line of the root canal is is interpolated as a 3D spline curve. The proposed procedure can help prepare several kinds of endodontic interventions.

Intensity inhomogeneity or intensity non-uniformity (INU) is ail undesired phenomenon that represents the main obstacle for MR, image segmentation and registration methods. Various techniques have been proposed to eliminate or compensate the INU, most of which are embedded into clustering algorithms, and they generally have difficulties when INU reaches high amplitudes. This paper proposes a multiple stage fuzzyc-means (FcM) based algorithm for the estimation and compensation of IN U, by modeling it as a slowly varying additive or multiplicative noise, supported by a pre-filtering technique for Gaussian and impulse noise elimination. The slowly varying behavior of the bias or gain field is assured by a smoothing filter that performs a context dependent averaging, based oil a morphological criterion. The experiments using 2-D synthetic phantoms and real MR images show, that the proposed method provides accurate segmentation. The resulting segmentation and fuzzy membership values can serve as excellent support for 3-D registration and segmentation techniques.

In cancer genomics, the mutually exclusive patterns of somatic mutations are important biomarkers that are suggested to be valuable in cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, detecting these patterns of mutation data is an NP-hard problem, which pose a great challenge for computational approaches. Existing approaches either limit themselves to pair-wise mutually exclusive patterns or largely rely on prior knowledge and complicated computational processes. Furthermore, the existing algorithms are often designed for genotype datasets, which may lose the information about tumor clonality, which is emphasized in tumor progression. In this paper, an algorithm for multiple sets with mutually exclusive patterns based on a fuzzy strategy to deal with real-type datasets is proposed. Different from the existing approaches, the algorithm focuses on both similarity within subsets and mutual exclusion among subsets, taking the mutual exclusion degree as the optimization objective rather than a constraint condition. fuzzyclustering of the is done mutations by method of membership degree, and a fuzzy strategy is used to iterate the clustering centers and membership degrees. Finally, the target subsets are obtained, which have the characteristics of high similarity within subsets and the largest number of mutations, and high mutual exclusion among subsets and the largest number of subsets. This paper conducted a series of experiments to verify the performance of the algorithm, including simulation datasets and truthful datasets from TcGA. According to the results, the algorithm shows good performance under different simulation configurations, and some of the mutually exclusive patterns detected from TcGA datasets were supported by published literatures. This paper compared the performance to MEGSA, which is the best and most widely used method at present. The purities and computational efficiencies on simulation datasets outperformed MEGSA.

fuzzyc-means (FcM) clustering algorithmcan be used to classify hand gesture images in human-robot interaction application. However, FcM algorithm does not work well on those images in which noises exist. The noises or outliers make all the cluster centers towards to the center of all points. In this paper, a new FcM algorithm is proposed to detect the outliers and then make the outliers have no influence on centers calculation. The experiment shows that the new FcM algorithmcan get more accurate centers than the traditional FcM algorithm.

Software engineering community often investigates the error concerning software development effort estimation as a part, and sometimes, as an improvement of an effort estimation technique. The aim of this paper is to propose an approach dealing with both model and attributes measurement error sources whatever the effort estimation technique used. To do that, we explore the concepts of entropy and fuzzyclustering to propose a new framework to cope with both error sources. The proposed framework has been evaluated with the cOcOMO'81 dataset and the fuzzy Analogy effort estimation technique. The results are promising since the actual confidence interval percentages are closer to those proposed by the framework.
