Abstract

For pt.I see ibid., p.775-85. In part I an equivalence between the concepts of fuzzy clustering and soft competitive learning in clustering algorithms is proposed on the basis of the existing literature. Moreover, a set of functional attributes is selected for use as dictionary entries in the comparison of clustering algorithms. In this paper, five clustering algorithms taken from the literature are reviewed, assessed and compared on the basis of the selected properties of interest. These clustering models are (1) self-organizing map (SOM); (2) fuzzy learning vector quantization (FLVQ); (3) fuzzy adaptive resonance theory (fuzzy ART); (4) growing neural gas (GNG); (5) fully self-organizing simplified adaptive resonance theory (FOSART). Although our theoretical comparison is fairly simple, it yields observations that may appear parodoxical. First, only FLVQ, fuzzy ART, and FOSART exploit concepts derived from fuzzy set theory (e.g., relative and/or absolute fuzzy membership functions). Secondly, only SOM, FLVQ, GNG, and FOSART employ soft competitive learning mechanisms, which are affected by asymptotic misbehaviors in the case of FLVQ, i.e., only SOM, GNG, and FOSART are considered effective fuzzy clustering algorithms
