Clustering Objects in Heterogeneous Information Network Using Fuzzy C-Mean

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 274))

Abstract

In this paper we have proposed a fuzzy c-mean based clustering algorithm for categorization of different types of objects present in a heterogeneous information network. We have addressed a particular scenario in this paper when exact structure of objects and their relationships with other objects is either hidden or not known. We have performed the experiments on an agriculture information network and our results depicts that combining automatic extraction of structure of an information network with information objects can improve the quality of clustering.
