Validity index for crisp and fuzzy clusters

TLDR
A cluster validity index and its fuzzification is described, which can provide a measure of goodness of clustering on different partitions of a data set, and results demonstrating the superiority of the PBM-index in appropriately determining the number of clusters are provided.

Long-Term Activity Recognition from Wristwatch Accelerometer Data

TL;DR: This work used acceleration data from a wristwatch in order to identify long-term activities, and compares the use of Hidden Markov Models and Conditional Random Fields for the segmentation task.

Topology-Based Hierarchical Clustering of Self-Organizing Maps

TL;DR: This paper proposes an automated clustering method for SOMs, which is a hierarchical agglomerative clustering of CONN, and shows that, for the datasets used in this paper, data-topology-based hierarchical clustering can produce better partitioning than hierarchical clusters based solely on distance information.

Segmentation performance evaluation for object-based remotely sensed image analysis

TL;DR: A novel metric, known as the spatial unsupervised (SU) metric, which meets both the requirements and the importance of these is illustrated by the poor performance of a metric which fails to meet them both.

A Cluster-Validity Index Combining an Overlap Measure and a Separation Measure Based on Fuzzy-Aggregation Operators

TL;DR: A CV index is presented that helps to find the optimal number of clusters of data from partitions generated by a fuzzy-clustering algorithm, such as the fuzzy c-means (FCM) or its derivatives.

Evolution-Based Tabu Search Approach to Automatic Clustering

TL;DR: This work proposes a framework of automatic clustering algorithms (called ETSAs) that do not require users to give each possible value of required parameters (including the number of clusters) and demonstrates the superiority of the ETSA in finding the correct number of cluster while constructing clusters with good validity.
