Abstract
In the context of evolutionary data classification, dynamical modeling techniques are useful to continuously learn clusters models. Dedicated to on-line clustering, the AUDyC (Auto-adaptive and Dynamical Clustering) algorithm is an unsupervised neural network with auto-adaptive abilities in nonstationary environment. These particular abilities are based on specific learning rules that are developed into three stages: “Classification”, “Evaluation” and “Fusion”. In this paper, we propose a new densities merge mechanism to improve the “Fusion” stage in order to avoid some local optima drawbacks of Gaussian fitting. The novelty of our approach is to use an ambiguity rule of fuzzy modelling with new merge acceptance criteria. Our approach can be generalized to any type of fuzzy classification method using Gaussian models. Some experiments are presented to show the efficiency of our approach to circumvent to AUDyC NN local optima problems.
