Abstract

The Competitive Learning Neural Network (CLNN) algorithm is used for the classification of numerical datasets. The Adaptive Competitive Learning Neural Network (ACLNN) algorithm is a modification of the CLNN algorithm and produces high accuracy results with small and moderate sizes of datasets. However, it has high time complexity with big datasets, and the accuracy of the data clustering is low. To overcome these drawbacks, a Multi-phase Adaptive Competitive Learning Neural Network (MACLNN) is proposed. The proposed algorithm consists of three phases. The first phase in the proposed algorithm splits big datasets into equal partitions called sub-datasets. This phase aims to keep the dataset’s characteristics and speeding up the clustering process. The second phase in the proposed algorithm uses the sub-datasets as input data to the ACLNN algorithm. This phase aims to determine the optimal number of clusters. To speed up this phase, a parallel processing technique is used. The last phase in the proposed algorithm uses the extensive dataset and the optimal number of clusters determined from the second phase as input to the ACLNN algorithm. This phase aims to determine the clustering id for every data object in the input dataset. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, twelve experimental datasets are used. The results obtained are compared to those obtained by the ACLNN algorithm. Evaluation of the proposed algorithm on big datasets shows that it outperforms the ACLNN algorithm on both the clustering accuracy and the running time.
