Abstract

Meta-learning has been successfully used for algorithm recommendation tasks. It uses machine learning to induce meta-models able to predict the best algorithms for a new dataset. In this paper, meta-models are applied to a set of meta-features, describing a dataset, to predict the performance of clustering algorithms applied to this dataset. The paper also proposes a new set of meta-features, based on correlation and dissimilarity measures. Experimental results show that these meta-features improve the recommendation. Additionally, this paper evaluates the importance of each meta-feature for the recommendation. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. (AU)
