Multi-Objective Optimization to Identify High Quality Clusters with Close Referential Point using Evolutionary Clustering Techniques

Abstract

Most of the real-world optimization problems have multiple objectives to deal with. Satisfying one objective at a time may lead to the huge deviation in other. This paper uses criterion knowledge ranking algorithm solving multi-objective optimization problems. The aim of this research paper is to solve a multi-objective optimization algorithm with close reference point learning method to identify high quality data clusters. A Simple crossover measure is used to quantify the diversity of the whole set, by considering all patterns as a complete entity. In this paper, the task of identifying high quality data clusters using close reference points is proposed to solve multi-objective optimization problem using evolutionary clustering techniques. The proposed algorithm finds the closest feature from the selected features of the data sets that also minimizes the cost while maintains the quality of the solution by producing better convergence. The resultant clusters were analysed and validated using cluster validity indexes. The proposed algorithm is tested with several UCI real-life data sets. The experimental results substantiates that the algorithm is efficient and robust.
