Summary:
Senthilnath et al. [1] proposed an algorithm that used the firefly algorithm for K-means clustering (KMFA). In this paper, we propose a new clustering algorithm that combines K-means clustering and improved firefly algorithm (KMIFA). In our proposed algorithm, at the beginning of the search, all fireflies move with a relatively strong random influence. As the number of iterations increases, the firefly tends to converge. These experiments indicate that our algorithm is more efficient than the other algorithms.
