Supervised fuzzy partitioning

作者:

Highlights:

• A framework is presented, extending k-means clustering to be applicable to supervised tasks.

• We adopt an entropy approach to fuzzification and feature weighting.

• An efficient block coordinate descent scheme is formulated to find local minima.

• A flexible, nonlinear classifier is presented, capable of handling high-dimensional settings.

• Experimental results show the superior performance of the proposed method over state-of-the-art classifiers.
