Abstract:
Clustering algorithms are a primary tool in data analysis, facilitating the discovery of groups and structure in unlabeled data. They are used in a wide variety of industries and applications. Despite their ubiquity, clustering algorithms have a flaw: they take an unacceptable amount of time to run as the number of data objects increases. The need to compensate for this flaw has led to the development of a large number of techniques intended to accelerate their performance. This need grows greater every day, as collections of unlabeled data grow larger and larger. How does one increase the spe

Abstract:
This master thesis deals with cluster analysis, more specifically with clustering methods that use fuzzy sets. Basic clustering algorithms and necessary multivariate transformations are described in the first chapter. In the practical part, which is in the third chapter we apply fuzzy c-means clustering and k-means clustering on real data. Data used for clustering are the inputs of chemical transport model CMAQ. Model CMAQ is used to approximate concentration of air pollutants in the atmosphere. To the data we will apply two different clustering methods. We have used two different methods to s

Abstract:
Clustering algorithms are widely used in pattern recognition and data mining applications. Due to their computational efficiency, partitional clustering algorithms are better suited for applications with large datasets than hierarchical clustering algorithms. K-means is among the most popular partitional clustering algorithm, but has a major shortcoming: it is extremely sensitive to the choice of initial centers used to seed the algorithm. Unless k-means is carefully initialized, it converges to an inferior local optimum and results in poor quality partitions. Developing improved method for se

Abstract:
Cluster analysis, the automatic procedure by which large data sets can be split into similar groups of objects (clusters), has innumerable applications in a wide range of problem domains. Improvements in clustering quality (as captured by internal validation indexes) and speed (number of iterations until cost function convergence), the main focus of this work, have many desirable consequences. They can result, for example, in faster and more precise detection of illness onset based on symptoms or it could provide investors with a rapid detection and visualization of patterns in financial time

Abstract:
Clustering large data sets has become very important as the amount of available unlabeled data increases. Single Pass Fuzzy C-Means (SPFCM) is useful when memory is too limited to load the whole data set. The main idea is to divide dataset into several chunks and to apply fuzzy c-means (FCM) to each chunk. SPFCM uses the weighted cluster centers of the previous chunk in the next data chunks. However, when the number of chunks is increased, the algorithm shows sensitivity to the order in which the data is processed. Hence, we improved SPFCM by recognizing boundary and noisy data in each chunk a

Abstract:
L’esigenza di aumentare l’efficienza e la redditività degli impianti industriali e l’esigenza di rispettare rigorose norme sull’impatto ambientale, accanto alla necessità di un adeguamento a precise norme di produzione, richiedono un livello crescente di automazione. L’attività di ricerca svolta ha riguardato lo sviluppo e l’implementazione di soluzioni per l’identificazione e la modellazione di sistemi dinamici. Questi sistemi sono stati poi utilizzati al fine di progettare, implementare e testare varie politiche di controllo finalizzate al risparmio energetico. Inizialmente sono state valuta

Abstract:
The statistics of the amplitude, time and angle of arrival of multipaths in an indoor environment are all necessary components of multipath models used to simulate the performance of spatial diversity in receive antenna configurations. The model presented by Saleh and Valenzuela, was added to by Spencer et. al., and included all three of these parameters for a 7 GHz channel. A system was built to measure these multipath parameters at 2.4 GHz for multiple locations in an indoor environment. Another system was built to measure the angle of transmission for a 6 GHz channel.

Abstract:
碩士<br>中原大學<br>應用數學研究所<br>102<br>In fuzzy cluster analysis﹐the fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm is the most well-known and used method. Up to now﹐there are various generalizations of FCM. In order to reduce the influences of the clustering results by outliers and noisy points﹐Yu, Yang and Lee (2011) proposed sample-weighted clustering methods that apply the maximum entropy principle to automatically calculate these sample weights so as to increase the robustness of the algorithm. The purpose of this thesis is to give a cluster-weighted version of sample-weighted FCM﹐called the sample an

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>資訊管理學研究所<br>93<br>The challenges for face detection from images come from the variation of poses, facial expressions, occlusions, lighting conditions, and so on. We propose a method for multiple-pose face detection from still images. Our proposed method consists of three phases. First, skin pixels are extracted using a skin color model. Connected component analysis is performed to find the skin regions. Second, before extracting the feature vector of a skin region, we apply edge detection to the region. Our feature vector consists of two parts. The first part is obtained by div

碩士<br>國立臺灣海洋大學<br>資訊工程學系<br>103<br>Recently the hardware aspect of the computer has gradually become more developed and advanced in order to keep up with the rise in data and computational efficiency. The graphics processing unit (GPU) is one of the hardware that has followed that trait. The ability of the GPU to do floating point operations has exceeded that of the CPU due to the massive parallel architecture within the GPU, which has also become a powerful technology for programming purposes. Data clustering is also an important issue in data mining, but the applications of data clustering ar

碩士<br>國立臺灣海洋大學<br>電機工程學系<br>104<br>Sperm whale is one species of odontoceti mammals, possesses highly developed intelligence, performs mutual communication and social activities by sending audio signals of different pulse sequence combinations. To understand the ecology of the sperm whale, we can perform voiceprint’s feature analysis and clustering from the recorded audio signals. However, background noise is corrupted into the original whale’s sound during the sound recording process, thus reducing the quality of the original whale’s sound and leading to the hardship of voiceprint’s feature a
