Clustering in unsupervised learning is a method to find inherent group of set of unlabeled data. Such set of groups are termed as Clusters. Grouping of datasets in to clusters involves minimization of the interclass similarity and maximization of the intraclass similarity. Therefore, clustering the large datasets introduces the concept called Data Reduction. Data reduction is a simple process of identifying a relevant feature subset, which is enough to represent the selected large datasets. Here, the data reduction is done in terms of applying two clustering algorithms like Expectation and Maximization-EM and K-Means with filters in unsupervised category (i) Normalize filter in Instance level and (ii) Randomize filter in attribute level and selection of attributes. The results shows that the Livestock dataset applied with selection of attributes and preprocessing filter named Normalize in attribute level and Randomize in instance level on which the EM and K-Means algorithm are executed, and the results are compared and analyzed in terms of data reduction. Therefore, the K-Means algorithm applied with Randomize filter at instance level and selection of attributes and finally K-Means algorithm show good performance in case of large datasets when compared with other clustering algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
