Determining the optimal number of clusters using a new evolutionary algorithm

Wei Lu, I. Traore
2005 17th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI'05)  
Empirical evaluations using the synthetic dataset and an existing benchmark show that the proposed evolutionary algorithm can exactly estimate the optimal number of clusters for a set of data.  ...  An improper pre-selection for the number of clusters might easily lead to bad clustering outcome. In this paper, we propose a new evolutionary algorithm to address this issue.  ...  Another popular clustering approach sensitive to this problem is based on Gaussian mixture model (GMM).  ...

2012 Proceedings of the fourteenth international conference on Genetic and evolutionary computation conference companion - GECCO Companion '12  
Finding interactions among genes is one of the main problems in molecular biology. In this paper, we use a novel approach to model the gene's regulations, or Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs).  ...  We use a Recursive Neural Network (RNN) to model the networks, and then use Population Based Incremental Learning (PBIL) enhanced with K-means to find the optimum parameters of the Neural Network.  ...  We model the candidates as a mixture of K Gaussian distributions, to have at a set of N ×K clusters modeling the best candidates of the problem for each of the N dimensions.  ...
