Abstract

This paper presents an extension to the COBWEB conceptual clustering algorithm. The extension is designed to allow for nonmutually exclusive examples to be clustered. It is also designed to allow for fuzzy examples to be clustered, which has the side effect of putting examples into more than one cluster or class. A discussion of some related work and an ideal fuzzification are presented. Preliminary results are shown with one fuzzy data set on creditworthiness.
