ABSTRACT
Clustering using a difference criterion of distortion-ratios on clusters is investigated for data sets with large statistical differences of class data, where K-Means algorithm (KMA) and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) cannot necessarily reveal the good performance. After obtaining cluster centers by KMA or LVQ, a split and merge procedure with the difference criterion is executed. Focusing on an interesting data set which is not resolved by KMA or LVQ, some experimental clustering results based on the difference criterion and the split and merge procedure are provided.

Soft clustering criterion functions for partitional document clustering: a summary of results
CIKM '04: Proceedings of the thirteenth ACM international conference on Information and knowledge managementRecently published studies have shown that partitional clustering algorithms that optimize certain criterion functions, which measure key aspects of inter- and intra-cluster similarity, are very effective in producing hard clustering solutions for ...
