Abstract—This paper studies the applicability of
hybridization of Differential Evolution (DE) and PSO
techniques to data clustering problem. A new way of integrating
DE and PSO is explored in the paper. In one approach, a
parallel DE and PSO developed and in other, a transitional
approach of alternate DE and PSO technique followed.
Simulations for number of data sets show that the proposed
integrated approach provides better clustering performance.
Index Terms—Clustering, PSO, differential evolution.
