摘要:Data clustering is considered an important data analysis and data mining technique. It is included in a variety of disciplines
such as machine learning, pattern recognition and bioinformatics. K-Means algorithm is a popular clustering algorithm but it suffers from
its dependency on its initial centroid locations which fells the algorithm into the local optima. Bio-inspired algorithms are powerful in
searching for the global optimal solutions. In this paper, the most recent bio-inspired algorithms; Crow search, Whale optimization,
Grasshopper optimization and Salp swarm algorithms are integrated into the K-Means algorithm, to overcome the K-Means drawbacks.
The proposed techniques are implemented and applied on eight numerical UCI datasets. Experimental results reveal the capability of the
proposed algorithms to find the optimal initial centroid locations which achieve better clustering integrity. Moreover, the results show
that the integration of the k-Means with the Crow search algorithm is superior compared to the others bio-inspired algorithms.
