Abstract

This paper describes a new artificial immune system algorithm for data clustering. The proposed algorithm resembles the CLONALG, widely used AIS algorithm but much simpler as it uses one shot learning and omits cloning. The algorithm is tested using four simulated and two benchmark data sets for data clustering. Experimental results indicate it produced the correct clusters for the data sets.
