Abstract

Partial supervision is introduced to the unsupervised fuzzy c-means algorithm (FCM). The resulting algorithm is called semi-supervised fuzzy c-means (SFCM). Labeled data are used as training information to improve FCM's performance. Training data are represented as training columns in SFCM's membership matrix (U), and are allowed to affect the cluster center computations. The degree of supervision is monitored by choosing the number of copies of the training set to be used in SFCM. Preliminary results of SFCM (applied to MRI segmentation) suggest that FCM finds the clusters of most interest to the user very accurately when training data is used to guide it.
