TITLE Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm to Enhance the Clustering Problems
ABSTRACT Clustering is a key technique in data analysis used to group similar data points for better interpretation and decision-making. Traditional methods such as K-means clustering are widely applied due to their simplicity and efficiency; however, they often face limitations when dealing with complex datasets and multi-objective requirements. These methods typically optimize a single objective and are sensitive to initial conditions, which may lead to suboptimal results.To overcome these challenges, this work proposes a multi-objective clustering approach using the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II). The clustering problem is formulated to simultaneously optimize objectives such as minimizing intra-cluster distance and maximizing inter-cluster separation. NSGA-II effectively explores the search space and generates a diverse set of Pareto-optimal solutions, enabling better trade-offs between conflicting objectives.The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated against the traditional K-Means algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the NSGA-II-based method achieves improved clustering quality, greater solution diversity, and enhanced robustness. This highlights the effectiveness of evolutionary multi-objective optimization techniques for solving complex clustering problems in real-world applications.
