Abstract

Clustering or unsupervised classification techniques can be used to solve different types of classification problems of different domains. Symmetry is an important property for any real life object. Therefore, symmetry-based distance measurements play some important roles in identifying some patterns or clusters of real life datasets. In this paper, inspired by the symmetric property, we have proposed a point symmetry-based clustering algorithm which has been used to identify clusters of tissue samples from some real life cancer datasets. Our proposed algorithm is also multi-objective-optimisation (MOO) based, i.e., optimises more than one objectives simultaneously. We have also shown the superiority of our proposed algorithm with respect to some state-of-the-art clustering algorithms.
