Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This paper introduces the electromagnetic clustering algorithm (ELMC), an enhanced variant of electromagnetic field optimization (EFO), for clustering. The motivation behind ELMC is to overcome the shortcomings of traditional k-means clustering algorithm. The performance of k-means primarily depends upon the initial choice of centroids, which can lead the algorithm towards an undesirable local optimum, if chosen incorrectly or inefficiently. The ELMC utilizes the attraction-repulsion concept of the EFO algorithm to maintain the diversity of the population, making it less vulnerable towards the initial choice of centroids. The performance of ELMC is validated on a set of benchmark problems, and the results are compared with other state-of-the-art algorithms. Numerical and graphical results indicate the competence of the proposed ELMC algorithm.
