Abstract Semi-supervised clustering techniques attempt to improve clustering accuracy by utilizing a limited number of labeled data for guidance. This method effectively integrates prior knowledge using pre-labeled data. While semi-supervised fuzzy clustering (SSFC) methods leverage limited labeled data to enhance accuracy, they remain highly susceptible to inappropriate or mislabeled prior knowledge, especially in noisy or overlapping datasets where cluster boundaries are ambiguous. To enhance the effectiveness of clustering algorithms, it is essential to leverage labeled data while ensuring the safety of the previous knowledge. Existing solutions, such as the Trusted Safe Semi-Supervised Fuzzy Clustering Method (TS3FCM),… More >

Abstract Active semi-supervised fuzzy clustering integrates fuzzy clustering techniques with limited labeled data, guided by active learning, to enhance classification accuracy, particularly in complex and ambiguous datasets. Although several active semi-supervised fuzzy clustering methods have been developed previously, they typically face significant limitations, including high computational complexity, sensitivity to initial cluster centroids, and difficulties in accurately managing boundary clusters where data points often overlap among multiple clusters. This study introduces a novel Active Semi-Supervised Fuzzy Clustering algorithm specifically designed to identify, analyze, and correct misclassified boundary elements. By strategically utilizing labeled data through active learning, our More >

Abstract The increasing prevalence of multi-view data has made multi-view clustering a crucial technique for discovering latent structures from heterogeneous representations. However, traditional fuzzy clustering algorithms show limitations with the inherent uncertainty and imprecision of such data, as they rely on a single-dimensional membership value. To overcome these limitations, we propose an auto-weighted multi-view neutrosophic fuzzy clustering (AW-MVNFC) algorithm. Our method leverages the neutrosophic framework, an extension of fuzzy sets, to explicitly model imprecision and ambiguity through three membership degrees. The core novelty of AW-MVNFC lies in a hierarchical weighting strategy that adaptively learns the contributions More >

Abstract Applying domain knowledge in fuzzy clustering algorithms continuously promotes the development of clustering technology. The combination of domain knowledge and fuzzy clustering algorithms has some problems, such as initialization sensitivity and information granule weight optimization. Therefore, we propose a weighted kernel fuzzy clustering algorithm based on a relative density view (RDVWKFC). Compared with the traditional density-based methods, RDVWKFC can capture the intrinsic structure of the data more accurately, thus improving the initial quality of the clustering. By introducing a Relative Density based Knowledge Extraction Method (RDKM) and adaptive weight optimization mechanism, we effectively solve the… More >

Abstract Multi-view clustering is a critical research area in computer science aimed at effectively extracting meaningful patterns from complex, high-dimensional data that single-view methods cannot capture. Traditional fuzzy clustering techniques, such as Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), face significant challenges in handling uncertainty and the dependencies between different views. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a new multi-view fuzzy clustering approach that integrates picture fuzzy sets with a dual-anchor graph method for multi-view data, aiming to enhance clustering accuracy and robustness, termed Multi-view Picture Fuzzy Clustering (MPFC). In particular, the picture fuzzy set theory extends the capability to… More >

Abstract Hyperspectral imagery encompasses spectral and spatial dimensions, reflecting the material properties of objects. Its application proves crucial in search and rescue, concealed target identification, and crop growth analysis. Clustering is an important method of hyperspectral analysis. The vast data volume of hyperspectral imagery, coupled with redundant information, poses significant challenges in swiftly and accurately extracting features for subsequent analysis. The current hyperspectral feature clustering methods, which are mostly studied from space or spectrum, do not have strong interpretability, resulting in poor comprehensibility of the algorithm. So, this research introduces a feature clustering algorithm for hyperspectral… More >

Abstract To solve the problems of a few optical fibre line fault samples and the inefficiency of manual communication optical fibre fault diagnosis, this paper proposes a communication optical fibre fault diagnosis model based on variational modal decomposition (VMD), fuzzy entropy (FE) and fuzzy clustering (FC). Firstly, based on the OTDR curve data collected in the field, VMD is used to extract the different modal components (IMF) of the original signal and calculate the fuzzy entropy (FE) values of different components to characterize the subtle differences between them. The fuzzy entropy of each curve is used More >
