An hybrid architecture for clusters analysis: rough setstheory and self-organizing map artificial neural network

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The database of real world contains a huge volume of data and among them there are hidden piles of interesting relations that are actually very hard to find out. The knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) appears as a possible solution to find out such relations aiming at converting information into knowledge. However, not all data presented in the bases are useful to a KDD. Usually, data are processed before being presented to a KDD aiming at reducing the amount of data and also at selecting more relevant data to be used by the system. This work consists in the use of Rough Sets Theory, in order to pre-processing data to be presented to Self-Organizing Map neural network (Hybrid Architecture) for clusters analysis. Experiments' results evidence the better performance using the Hybrid Architecture than Self-Organizing Map. The paper also presents all phases of the KDD process.

Container Crane Controller with the Use of a NeuroFuzzy Network

“…The advantage of this type of system is due to the synergy obtained by combining two or more techniques. This synergism reflects in getting a more powerful system (in terms of interpretation, learning, estimation parameters, training, among others) and with fewer disabilities [2], [11]. The purpose of this combination is to get good ability to learn and adapt to the needs to solve real-world problems, ideal for applications such as identification, prediction, classification and control [2], [26].…”

Alternative Methods to Multiple Correspondence Analysis in Reconstructing the Relevant Information in a Burt's Table

“…In present days it may be of high interest to deal with qualitative unstructured data, whose treatment may be more complex. Studies in this framework are found in recent operational research literature [16,17,30,40]. In this context, data reduction through exploratory multidimensional scaling may contribute to clarify the data at hand, by revealing structures and factors.…”

“…Esse sinergismo reflete na obtenção de um sistema mais poderoso (em termos de interpretação, de aprendizado, de estimativa de parâmetros, de generalização, dentre outros) e com menos deficiências. Vários trabalhos confirmam esse sinergismo (Indira & Ramesh, 2011;Yongqin & Tao, 2011;Sassi, 2012).…”
