Abstract

Computer Science Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence Computer Science, Theory & Methods Science & Technology Technology
Meta-learning is a technique that aims at understanding what types of algorithms solve what kinds of problems. Clustering, by contrast, divides a dataset into groups based on the objects' similarities without the need of previous knowledge about the objects' labels. The present paper proposes the use of meta-learning to recommend clustering algorithms based on the feature extraction of unlabelled objects. The features of the clustering problems will be evaluated along with the ranking of different algorithms so that the meta-learning system can recommend accurately the best algorithms for a new problem.
