Optimizing Multiple Objectives for Clustering
15/10/2019Intervenant(s) : Sanghamitra Bandyopadhyay (Indian Statistical Institute)
Clustering is an unsupervised exploratory data analysis tool which groups the data on the basis of some similarity/dissimilarity metric such that a predefined criterion is optimized. The problem of clustering is therefore essentially one of optimization. The use of metaheuristics like genetic algorithms has been made successfully in the past for clustering a data set. It is to be noted that the clustering problem admits a number of criteria or cluster validity indices that have to be simultaneously optimized for obtaining improved results. Hence in recent times the problem has been posed in a multiobjective optimization (MOO) framework and popular metaheuristics for multiobjective optimization have been applied. In this talk, we will first briefly discuss about the fuzzy c-means algorithm and the basic principles of MOO. Subsequently it will be shown how a popular multiobjective optimization algorithm may be used for solving the clustering problem. Since such algorithms provide a number of solutions, a way of combining the multiple clustering solutions so obtained into a single one using supervised learning will be explained. The talk will conclude by demonstrating an application of the multiobjective clustering technique on gene expression data sets.
