A New Semi-supervised Clustering Algorithm Based on Variational Bayesian and Its Application

Biclustering algorithm is proposed for discovering matrix with biological significance in gene expression data matrix and it is used widely in machine learning which can cluster the row and column of matrix. In order to further improve the performance of biclustering algorithm, this paper proposes a semi-supervised clustering algorithm based on variational Bayesian. Firstly, it introduces supplementary information of row and column for biclustering process and represents corresponding joint distribution probability model. In addition, it estimates the parameter of joint distribution probability model based on variational Bayesian learning method. Finally, it estimates the performance of proposed algorithm through synthesized data and real gene expression data set. Experiments show that normalized mutual information of this paper’s new method is better than relevant biclustering algorithms for biclustering analysis

An Improved Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Staged Search

Artificial Bee Colony(ABC) or its improved algorithms used in solving high dimensional complex function optimization issues has some disadvantages, such as lower convergence, lower solution precision, lots of control parameters of improved algorithms, easy to fall into a local optimum solution. In this letter, we propose an improved ABC of staged search. This new algorithm designs staged employed bee search strategy which makes that employed bee has different search characters in different stages. That reduces probability of falling into local extreme value. It defines the escape radius which can guide precocious individual to jump local extreme value and avoid the blindness of flight behavior. Meanwhile, we adopt initialization strategy combining uniform distribution and backward learning to prompt initial solution with uniform distribution and better quality. Finally, we make simulation experiments for eight typical high dimensional complex functions. Results show that the improved algorithm has a higher solution precision and faster convergence rate which is more suitable for solving high dimensional complex functions
