K-EVCLUS: Clustering large dissimilarity data in the belief function framework

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. In evidential clustering, the membership of objects to clusters is considered to be uncertain and is represented by mass functions, forming a credal partition. The EVCLUS algorithm constructs a credal partition in such a way that larger dissimila...

Denoeux T. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. In evidential clustering, the membership of objects to clusters is considered to be uncertain and is represented by mass functions, forming a credal partition. The EVCLUS algorithm constructs a credal partition in such a way that larger dissimilarities between objects correspond to higher degrees of conflict between the associated mass functions. In this paper, we propose to replace the gradient-based optimization procedure in the original EVCLUS algorithm by a much faster iterative rowwise quadratic programming method. We also show that EVCLUS can be provided with only a random sample of the dissimilarities, reducing the time and space complexity from quadratic to linear. These improvements make EVCLUS suitable to cluster large dissimilarity datasets. 2017-09-28T04:27:46Z 2017-09-28T04:27:46Z 2016-01-01 Book Series 03029743 2-s2.0-84988629130 10.1007/978-3-319-45559-4_11 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=84988629130&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/42548
