Abstract
In the paper, as an improvement of fuzzy clustering neural network FCNN proposed by Zhang et al., a novel robust fuzzy clustering neural network RFCNN is presented to cope with the sensitive issue of clustering when outliers exist. This new algorithm is based on Vapnik's ε-insensitive loss function and quadratic programming optimization. Our experimental results demonstrate that RFCNN has much better robustness for outliers than FCNN.
