Max-Entropy Feed-Forward Clustering Neural Network
The outputs of non-linear feed-forward neural network are positive, which
could be treated as probability when they are normalized to one. If we take
Entropy-Based Principle into consideration, the outputs for each sample could
be represented as the distribution of this sample for different clusters.
Entropy-Based Principle is the principle with which we could estimate the
unknown distribution under some limited conditions. As this paper defines two
processes in Feed-Forward Neural Network, our limited condition is the
abstracted features of samples which are worked out in the abstraction process.
And the final outputs are the probability distribution for different clusters
in the clustering process. As Entropy-Based Principle is considered into the
feed-forward neural network, a clustering method is born. We have conducted
some experiments on six open UCI datasets, comparing with a few baselines and
applied purity as the measurement . The results illustrate that our method
outperforms all the other baselines that are most popular clustering methods.Comment: This paper has been published in ICANN 201
