Abstract
This study proposes the concept of families of triangular norm (t-norm)-based kernel functions, and discusses their positive-definite property and the conditions for applicable t-norms. A clustering experiment with kernel k-means is performed in order to analyze the characteristics of the proposed concept, as well as the effects of the t-norm and parameter selections. It is evaluated that the clusters obtained in terms of the adjusted rand index and the experimental results suggested the following : (1) the adjusted rand index values obtained by the proposed method were almost the same or higher than those produced using the linear kernel for all of the data sets; (2) the proposed method slightly improved the adjusted rand index values for some data sets compared with the radial basis function (RBF) kernel; (3) the proposed method tended to map data to a higher dimensional feature space than the linear kernel but the dimension was lower than that using the RBF kernel.
