Pursuit Reinforcement Competitive Learning: PRCL based Online Clustering with Learning Automata
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research in Artificial Intelligence(IJARAI) - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
A new online clustering method based on not only reinforcement and competitive learning but also pursuit algorithm (Pursuit Reinforcement Competitive Learning: PRCL) as well as learning automata is proposed for reaching a relatively stable clustering solution in comparatively short time duration. UCI repository data which are widely used for evaluation of clustering performance in usual is used for a comparative study among the existing conventional online clustering methods of Reinforcement Guided Competitive Learning: RGCL, Sustained RGCL: SRGCL, Vector Quantization, and the proposed PRCL. The results show that the clustering accuracy of the proposed method is superior to the conventional methods. More importantly, it is found that the proposed PRCL is much faster than the conventional methods. The proposed method is then applied to the evacuation simulation study. It is found that the proposed method is much faster than the conventional method of vector quatization to find the most appropriate evacuation route. Due to the fact that the proposed PRCL method allows finding the most appropriate evacuation route, collisions among peoples who have to evacuate for the proposed method is much less than that of vector quatization.
