Improvement of K-Means Algorithm for Accelerated Big Data Clustering

Abstract

With the rapid development of the computer level, especially in recent years, “Internet +,” cloud platforms, etc. have been used in various industries, and various types of data have grown in large quantities. Behind these large amounts of data often contain very rich information, relying on traditional data retrieval and analysis methods, and data management models can no longer meet our needs for data acquisition and management. Therefore, data mining technology has become one of the solutions to how to quickly obtain useful information in today's society. Effectively processing large-scale data clustering is one of the important research directions in data mining. The k-means algorithm is the simplest and most basic method in processing large-scale data clustering. The k-means algorithm has the advantages of simple operation, fast speed, and good scalability in processing large data, but it also often exposes fatal defects in data processing. In view of some defects exposed by the traditional k-means algorithm, this paper mainly improves and analyzes from two aspects.
