Abstract

Data mining has become an important tool for information analysis in many disciplines. Data clustering, also known as unsupervised classification, is a popular data-mining technique. Clustering is a very challenging task because of little or no prior knowledge. Literature review reveals researchers’ interest in development of efficient clustering algorithms and their application to a variety of real-life situations. This chapter presents fundamental concepts of widely used classification algorithms including k-means, k-nearest neighbor, artificial neural networks, and fuzzy c-means. We also discuss applications of these algorithms in food and agriculture sciences including fruits classification, machine vision, wine classification, and analysis of remotely sensed forest images.
