In this paper the possibilities are discussed for training statistical pattern recognizers based on a distance representation of the objects instead of a feature representation. Distances or similarities are used between the unknown objects to be classified with a selected subset of the training objects (the support objects). These distances are combined into linear or nonlinear classifiers. In this approach the feature definition problem is replaced by finding good similarity measures. The proposal...
Most existing distance measures for fuzzy data do not capture differences in the shapes of the left and right tails of membership functions. As a result, they may calculate a distance of zero between fuzzy data even when these differences exist. Additionally, some distance measures cannot compute distances between fuzzy data when their membership functions differ in type. In this paper, inspired by human visual perception, we propose a fuzzy clustering method for fuzzy data using a novel representation...
An iterative fuzzy clustering method is proposed to partition a set of multivariate binary observation vectors located at neighboring geographic sites. The method described here applies in a binary setup a recently proposed algorithm, called Neighborhood EM, which seeks a partition that is both well clustered in the feature space and spatially regular [AmbroiseNEM1996]. This approach is derived from the EM algorithm applied to mixture models [Dempster1977], viewed as an alternate optimization method...
