Threshold segmentation has been widely used in recent years due to its simplicity and efficiency. The method of segmenting images by the two-dimensional maximum entropy is a species of the useful technique of threshold segmentation. However, the efficiency and stability of this technique are still not ideal and the traditional search algorithm cannot meet the needs of engineering problems. To mitigate the above problem, swarm intelligent optimization algorithms have been employed in this field for searching the optimal threshold vector. An effective technique of lightning attachment procedure optimization (LAPO) algorithm based on a two-dimensional maximum entropy criterion is offered in this paper, and besides, a chaotic strategy is embedded into LAPO to develop a new algorithm named CLAPO. In order to confirm the benefits of the method proposed in this paper, the other seven kinds of competitive algorithms, such as Ant–lion Optimizer (ALO) and Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA), are compared. Experiments are conducted on four different kinds of images and the simulation results are presented in several indexes (such as computational time, maximum fitness, average fitness, variance of fitness and other indexes) at different threshold levels for each test image. By scrutinizing the results of the experiment, the superiority of the introduced method is demonstrated, which can meet the needs of image segmentation excellently.

There are various applications of clustering in the fields of machine learning, data mining, data compression along with pattern recognition. The existent techniques like the Llyods algorithm (sometimes called k-means) were affected by the issue of the algorithm which converges to a local optimum along with no approximation guarantee. For overcoming these shortcomings, an efficient k-means clustering approach is offered by this paper for stream data mining. Coreset is a popular and fundamental concept for k-means clustering in stream data. In each step, reduction determines a coreset of inputs, and represents the error, where P represents number of input points according to nested property of coreset. Hence, a bit reduction in error of final coreset gets n times more accurate. Therefore, this motivated the author to propose a new coreset-reduction algorithm. The proposed algorithm executed on the Covertype dataset, Spambase dataset, Census 1990 dataset, Bigcross dataset, and Tower dataset. Our algorithm outperforms with competitive algorithms like Streamkm[Formula: see text], BICO (BIRCH meets Coresets for k-means clustering), and BIRCH (Balance Iterative Reducing and Clustering using Hierarchies.
