摘要: Although K-means clustering algorithm is simple and popular, it has a fundamental drawback of falling into local optima that depend on the randomly generated initial centroid values. Optimization algorithms are well known for their ability to guide iterative computation in searching global optima. They also speed up process by achieving early convergence. Contemporary optimization inspired biology, including Wolf, Firefly, Cuckoo, Bat Ant algorithms, simulate swarm behavior which peers attracted while steering towards objective. It found these bio-inspired have own virtues could be logically integrated avoid during iteration In this paper, constructs integration methods presented. The extended versions with produce improved results. Experiments conducted validate benefits proposed approach.
