Algorithms for two-box covering
We study the problem of covering a set of points or polyhedra in 3 with two axis-aligned boxes in order to minimize a function of the measures of the two boxes, such as the sum or...

Approximate data mining in very large relational data
In this paper we discuss eNERF, an extended version of non-Euclidean relational fuzzy c-means (NERFCM) for approximate clustering in very large (unloadable) relational data. The e...

Alternative Fuzzy Clustering Algorithms with L1-Norm and Covariance Matrix
In fuzzy clustering, the fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm is the best known and most used method. Although FCM is a very useful method, it is sensitive to noise and outliers so that W...

A Compression-Boosting Transform for Two-Dimensional Data
We introduce a novel invertible transform for two-dimensional data which has the objective of reordering the matrix so it will improve its (lossless) compression at later stages. T...
