An RBF Neural Network Clustering Algorithm Based on K-Nearest Neighbor

Abstract

Neural network is a supervised classification algorithm which can deal with high complexity and nonlinear data analysis. Supervised algorithm needs some known labels in the training process, and then corrects parameters through backpropagation method. However, due to the lack of marked labels, existing literature mostly uses Auto-Encoder to reduce the dimension of data when facing of clustering problems. This paper proposes an RBF (Radial Basis Function) neural network clustering algorithm based on K-nearest neighbors theory, which first uses K-means algorithm for preclassification, and then constructs self-supervised labels based on K-nearest neighbors theory for backpropagation. The algorithm in this paper belongs to a self-supervised neural network clustering algorithm, and it also makes the neural network truly have the ability of self-decision-making and self-optimization. From the experimental results of the artificial data sets and the UCI data sets, it can be proved that the proposed algorithm has excellent adaptability and robustness.
