Spectral clustering is a data mining method used for finding patterns in high dimensional datasets. It has been applied effectively to solve many problems in signal processing, bioinformatics, etc. In this paper spectral clustering was implemented to find students' patterns of behavior in an elearning system, to explore the relationship between the similarity of students' behavior and their academic performance.
In the article there is presented comparison of overlapping clustering methods for data mining of DBLP datasets. For the analysis, the DBLP data sets were pre-processed, while each journal has been assigned attributes, defined by its topics. The data collection can be described as vague and uncertain; obtained clusters and applied queries do not necessarily have crisp boundaries. The authors presented clustering through a tolerance rough set method (TRSM) and fuzzy c-mean (FCM) algorithm for journal recommendation based on topic search. The comparison of both clustering methods was presented using different measures of similarity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
