A kernel-based fuzzy clustering algorithm and its application in classification

In this paper, we purpose a kernel-based fuzzy clustering algorithm to cluster data patterns in the feature space. Our method uses kernel functions to project data from the original space into a high dimensional feature space, and data are divided into groups though their similarities in the feature space with an incremental clustering approach. After clustering, data patterns of the same cluster in the feature space are then grouped with an arbitrarily shaped boundary in the original space. As a result, clusters with arbitrary shapes are discovered in the original space. Clustering, which can be taken as unsupervised classification, has also been utilized in resolving classification problems. So, we extend our method to process the classification problems. By working in the high dimensional feature space where the data are expected to more separable, we can discover the inner structure of the data distribution. Therefore, our method has the advantage of dealing with new incoming data pattern efficiently. The effectiveness of our method is demonstrated in the experiment.
