Appraising Research Direction & Effectiveness of Existing Clustering Algorithm for Medical Data

Abstract

Abstract-The applicability and effectiveness of clustering algorithms had unquestioningly benefitted solving various sectors of real-time problems. However, with the changing time, there is a significant change in forms of the data. This paper briefs about the different taxonomies of the clustering algorithm and highlights the frequently used techniques to understand the research popularity. We also discuss the existing direction of the research work and find that still there is a significant amount of open issues when it comes to clustering medical data. We find that existing techniques are quite symptomatic in nature on local problems in clustering while problems associated with complex medical data are yet to be explored by the researchers. We believe that this manuscript will give a good summary of the effectiveness of existing clustering techniques towards medical data as a contribution.
