A dynamic method for discovering density varied clusters
Elbatta, Mohammed TH; Ashour, Wesam M. (Hindawi Limited, 2013)Density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) is a base algorithm for density based clustering. It can find out the clusters of different shapes and sizes from a large amount of data, which is ... -
A family of novel clustering algorithms
Barbakh, Wesam; Crowe, Malcolm; Fyfe, Colin (Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2006)We review the performance function associated with the familiar K-Means algorithm and that of the recently developed K-Harmonic Means. The inadequacies in these algorithms leads us to investigate a family of performance ... -
A Modified DBSCAN Clustering Algorithm.
Elkourd, Amer M; Ashour, Wesam M. (2011)DBSCAN is one of the most famous clustering algorithms that is based on density clustering. it can find clusters of arbitrary shapes. A major limitation of DBSCAN is its sensitivity to the input parameters also it cannot ... -
A New Model in Arabic Text Classification Using BPSO/REP-Tree
Naji, Hamza A.; Alhanjouri, Mohammed A.; Ashour, Wesam M. (الجامعة الإسلامية - غزة, 2017)Specifying an address or placing a specific classification to a page of text is an easy process somewhat, but what if there were many of these pages needed to reach a huge amount of documents. The process becomes difficult ... -
A Novel Clustering Algorithm using K-means (CUK). The Islamic
Alnaji, Khaled W.; Ashour, Wesam M. (Foundation of Computer Science, 2011)While K-means is one of the most well known methods to partition data set into clusters, it still has a problem when clusters are of different size and different density. K-means converges to one of many local minima. Many ... -
A novel construction of connectivity graphs for clustering and visualization
Barbakh, Wesam; Fyfe, Colin (World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society (WSEAS), 2008)We [5, 6] have recently investigated several families of clustering algorithms. In this paper, we show how a novel similarity function can be integrated into one of our algorithms as a method of performing clustering and ... -
A vibration method for discovering density varied clusters
Elbatta, Mohammad; Bolbol, Raed M; Ashour, Wesam M. (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)DBSCAN is a base algorithm for density-based clustering. It can find out the clusters of different shapes and sizes from a large amount of data, which is containing noise and outliers. However, it is fail to handle the ... -
An Initialization Method for the K-means Algorithm using RNN and Coupling Degree
Ahmed, Alaa H; Ashour, Wesam M. (Foundation of Computer Science (FCS), 2011)Since K-means is widely used for general clustering, its performance is a critical point. This performance depends highly on initial cluster centers since it may converge to numerous local minima. In this paper a proposed ... -
Arabic morphological tools for text mining
Saad, Motaz K; Ashour, Wesam M. (2010)Arabic Language has complex morphology; this led to unavailability to standard Arabic morphological analysis tools until now. In this paper, we present and evaluate existing common Arabic stemming/light stemming algorithms, ... -
Arabic text classification using decision trees
Saad, Motaz K; Ashour, Wesam M. (2010)Text mining draw more and more attention recently, it has been applied on different domains including web mining, opinion mining, and sentiment analysis. Text pre-processing is an important stage in text mining. The major ... -
AVOIDING NOISE AND OUTLIERS IN K-MEANS.
Jnena, Rami; Timraz, Mohammed; Ashour, Wesam M. (2011)Applying k-means algorithm on the datasets that include large number of noise and outlier objects, gives unclear clusters results. In this paper we proposed a new technique for avoiding these noise and outliers by applying ... -
Avoiding objects with few neighbors in the K-Means process and adding ROCK Links to its distance
Alnabriss, Hadi A; Ashour, Wesam M. (International Journal of Computer Applications, 244 5 th Avenue,# 1526, New York, NY 10001, USA India, 2011)K-means is considered as one of the most common and powerful algorithms in data clustering, in this paper we're going to present new techniques to solve two problems in the K-means traditional clustering algorithm, the 1st ... -
BH-centroids: A New Efficient Clustering Algorithm
Elfarra, Belal K; EL Khateeb, Tayseer J; Ashour, Wesam M. (Science and Engineering Research Support Society, 2013)The k-means algorithm is one of most widely used method for discovering clusters in data; however one of the main disadvantages to k-means is the fact that you must specify the number of clusters as an input to the algorithm. ... -
Clustering Algorithms in Echo State Networks
Ashour, Wesam M.; Abu-Issa, Abdallatif S; Hellwich, Olaf (Science and Engineering Research Support Society, 2016)In this work, we develop a new method of setting the input to reservoir and reservoir to reservoir weights in echo state machines. We use a clustering technique which we have previously developed as a pre-processing stage ... -
Clustering large-scale data based on modified affinity propagation algorithm
Serdah, Ahmed M; Ashour, Wesam M. (De Gruyter Open, 2016)Traditional clustering algorithms are no longer suitable for use in data mining applications that make use of large-scale data. There have been many large-scale data clustering algorithms proposed in recent years, but most ... -

Clustering with reinforcement learning
Barbakh, Wesam; Fyfe, Colin (Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2007)We show how a previously derived method of using reinforcement learning for supervised clustering of a data set can lead to a sub-optimal solution if the cluster prototypes are initialised to poor positions. We then develop ... -
