Web Intelligence Data Clustering by Bare Bone Fireworks Algorithm Combined with K-Means
Data mining and clustering are important elements of various applications in different fields. One of the areas were clustering is rather frequently used is web intelligence, which nowadays represents an important research area. Data collected from the web are usually very complex, dynamic, without structure and rather large. Traditional clustering techniques are not efficient enough and need to be improved. In this paper, we propose combination of recent swarm intelligence algorithm, bare bones fireworks algorithm, and k-means for clustering web intelligence data. The proposed method was compared with other approaches from literature. Based on the experimental results, it can be concluded that the proposed method has very promising characteristics in terms of the quality of clustering, as well as the execution time.
