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.

A Cluster Validity Index for Fuzzy Clustering Based on Non-distance

TL;DR: A new non-distance cluster index is proposed that not only recognizes overlapping clusters but also is insensitive to noisy data, and has more efficiency.

Data-driven feature word selection for clustering online news comments

TL;DR: This paper presents a data-driven feature word selection method which realizes structurally superior clustering of online comments, and found that online comments clustered using distinct nouns producedStructurally superior clusters when compared to the other types of nouns, local and global.

A Genetic K-means Clustering Algorithm Based on the Optimized Initial Centers

TL;DR: To obtain effective cluster and accurate cluster, the optimized K-means algorithm and genetic algorithm are combined into a hybrid algorithm (PGKM), which can not only improve compactness and separation of the algorithm but also automatically search for the best cluster number k, then cluster after optimizing the k-centers.

The Area Under the ROC Curve as a Measure of Clustering Quality.

TL;DR: This work elaborate on the use of AUC as an internal/relative measure of clustering quality, which is referred to as Area Under the Curve for Clustering (AUCC), and demonstrates that the AUCC of a given candidate clustering solution has an expected value under a null model of random clustering solutions, regardless of the size of the dataset.
