Evolutionary multi-objective automatic clustering enhanced with quality metrics and ensemble strategy

作者:

Highlights:

• A more comprehensive investigation on automatic clustering approaches via EMO is presented.

• Two new methods are proposed w.r.t. different encoding schemes.

• The quality metrics are incorporated to guide optimization.

• Determining the final partitioning from Pareto set is improved with clustering ensemble strategies.
