Hierarchical Agglomerative clustering

A. Feature

  • Make hierarchical tree of clusters, where each depth has different number of clusters and the proper depth can be chose depending on total number of clusters.
  • A child node imply one of the meanings parent node indicates in detail.
    • Assuming clustering sentences, Keywords extracted from each cluster(node) can be regarded as hierachchical topic tree from major topic to sub topics by its parent-child relationship.
  • The results can vary greatly depending on which metric you use to calculate the distance.

FCM, The Fuzzy C-Means clustering algorithm

A. Feature

  • Each data point can belong to more than one cluster (Soft Clustering).
    • The degree of belonging to each centroid is represented by scalar between 0 and 1.
    • It seems proper to cluster which the boundary is ambiguous such as natural language task.
  • Likewise other prototype-based clustering such as K-means family, Fuzzy C-means clustering finds optimal status through repetition.
