An Empirical Study of Cluster-Based MOEA/D Bare Bones PSO for Data Clustering <sup>†</sup>

Previously, cluster-based multi or many objective function techniques were proposed to reduce the Pareto set. Recently, researchers proposed such techniques to find better solutions in the objective space to solve engineering problems. In this work, we applied a cluster-based approach for solution s...
