Multiobjective clustering analysis using particle swarm optimization

作者:

Highlights:

• A multiobjective clustering method based on particle swarm optimization is proposed.

• Two objective functions used to measure cohesion and connectivity of clusters.

• Able to adaptively find the optimal number of clusters.

• Tested on 27 benchmark datasets in terms of accuracy and robustness.

• The system outperformed four state-of-the-art clustering algorithms in most cases.
