Abstract
Clustering is traditionally viewed as an unsupervised method for data analysis. However, in some cases information about the problem domain is available in addition to the data instances themselves. To make use of this information, in this paper, we develop a new clustering method “MLP-KMEANS” by combining Multi-Layer Perceptron and K-means. We test our method on several data sets with partial constrains available. Experimental results show that our method can effectively improve clustering accuracy by utilizing available information.
