Abstract

In this paper, we present our research on detecting clusters for multi-dimensional data using fuzzy concepts. Cluster analysis is an important sub-field in data mining. Many algorithms have been designed to detect clusters. However, it is difficult to analyze the inter-relationship among different dimensions. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to analyze and quantify the inter-relationship among correlated dimensions using the Fuzzy concept. A fuzzy concept is a concept of which the content, value, or boundaries of application can vary according to context or conditions, instead of being fixed once and for all. We apply the Fuzzy concept to help improve the clustering process.
