Descrição
Resumo:Due to the large volume of data generated by the growth of applications that provide new information, both in volume and variety, more efficient techniques are required to classify and processes them. A widely used technique is data grouping whose aim is to extract characteristics of the entities dividing them into homogeneous and/or well separated subsets. Many different criteria can be used to express the data classification. Among them, a commonly used criteria is the minimun sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC). In this criterion, entities are elements in n-dimensional Euclidean space. The data clustering problem by MSSC is NP-hard, then heuristics are extremely useful techniques for this type of problem. This work proposes new heuristics, based on the general variable neighborhood search (GVNS). Also proposed in this work is the adaptation of the heuristic reformulation descent (RD) to the MSSC problem, in the form of two variants, unapplied to this problem before in literature. The computational experiments show that the GVNS variants proposed in this work present better results, in large instances, than the current state of the art.
