14 Fuzzy-Based Firefly Algotithm for Data Clustering Available to Purchase

Firefly algorithm is a swarm-based algorithm that can be used for solving optimization problems. In this paper, the methodology of fuzzy c-means algorithm is incorporated into the original firefly algorithm to improve the performance. Six popular benchmark data sets from the UCI machine learning repository are used to test this technique.The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm surpasses both the base-line technique k-means clustering and original fuzzy c-mean.
