The Capacitated Centered Clustering Problem (CCCP)—a multi-facility location model—is very important within the logistics and supply chain management fields due to its impact on industrial transportation and distribution. However, solving the CCCP is a challenging task due to its computational complexity. In this work, a strategy based on Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) and dispersion reduction is presented to obtain the most likely locations of facilities for sets of client points considering their distribution patterns. Experiments performed on large CCCP instances, and considering updated best-known solutions, led to estimate the performance of the GMMs approach, termed as Dispersion Reduction GMMs, with a mean error gap smaller than 2.6%. This result is more competitive when compared to Variable Neighborhood Search, Simulated Annealing, Genetic Algorithm and CKMeans and faster to achieve when compared to the best-known solutions obtained by Tabu-Search and Clustering Search.

Background: Considering the increasing volume of text document information on Internet pages, dealing with such a tremendous amount of knowledge becomes totally complex due to its large size. Text clustering is a common optimization problem used to manage a large amount of text information into a subset of comparable and coherent clusters. Aims: This paper presents a novel local clustering technique, namely, β-hill climbing, to solve the problem of the text document clustering through modeling the β-hill climbing technique for partitioning the similar documents into the same cluster. Methods: The β parameter is the primary innovation in β-hill climbing technique. It has been introduced in order to perform a balance between local and global search. Local search methods are successfully applied to solve the problem of the text document clustering such as; k-medoid and kmean techniques. Results: Experiments were conducted on eight benchmark standard text datasets with different characteristics taken from the Laboratory of Computational Intelligence (LABIC). The results proved that the proposed β-hill climbing achieved better results in comparison with the original hill climbing technique in solving the text clustering problem. Conclusion: The performance of the text clustering is useful by adding the β operator to the hill climbing.

Abstract Background In recent years, various sequencing techniques have been used to collect biomedical omics datasets. It is usually possible to obtain multiple types of omics data from a single patient sample. Clustering of omics data plays an indispensable role in biological and medical research, and it is helpful to reveal data structures from multiple collections. Nevertheless, clustering of omics data consists of many challenges. The primary challenges in omics data analysis come from high dimension of data and small size of sample. Therefore, it is difficult to find a suitable integration method for structural analysis of multiple datasets. Results In this paper, a multi-view clustering based on Stiefel manifold method (MCSM) is proposed. The MCSM method comprises three core steps. Firstly, we established a binary optimization model for the simultaneous clustering problem. Secondly, we solved the optimization problem by linear search algorithm based on Stiefel manifold. Finally, we integrated the clustering results obtained from three omics by using k-nearest neighbor method. We applied this approach to four cancer datasets on TCGA. The result shows that our method is superior to several state-of-art methods, which depends on the hypothesis that the underlying omics cluster class is the same. Conclusion Particularly, our approach has better performance than compared approaches when the underlying clusters are inconsistent. For patients with different subtypes, both consistent and differential clusters can be identified at the same time.
