- Abstract:
-
The distance metric plays a vital role in the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm. In actual applications, there is a practical scenario in which the clustered data have a certain amount of side information, such as pairwise constraints with labels. To sufficiently utilize this side information, first, we propose a learning method based on hybrid distance, in which side information can be utilized to attain a distance metric formula for the data set. Next, we propose a robust fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm (HR-FCM algorithm) based on hybrid-distance learning, which is semi-supervised. The HR-FCM inherits the robustness of the GIFP-FCM (generalized FCM algorithm with improved fuzzy partitions) and has better clustering performance due to the more appropriate distance metric. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
