| dc.description.abstract | Complex real-world problems require advanced models for large datasets; combining optimization and machine learning methods can enhance solution effectiveness and efficiency. This work presents an automatic bio-inspired clustering algorithm named Multi-objective Clustering Algorithm II. Through an optimization process, the algorithm autonomously determines the number of clusters, their centroids, and the optimal distribution of their elements. Furthermore, the paper also presents a split and merge strategy for clustering algorithms, with a special focus on multi-objective ones. The proposed algorithms were executed on 10 benchmark datasets, yielding satisfactory results by accurately estimating the optimal number of clusters and providing appropriate dataset partitions. These results outstand the k-means and DBSCAN algorithms results, which were used as a comparison. | eng |
