In this paper, researchers propose a novel fuzzy clustering algorithm that automatically selects membership degree hyper-parameters and handles non-Gaussian clusters. The model is based on Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) methods but avoids the need for manual adjustments inherent in traditional FCM approaches. By removing graph embedding regularization, the model can degenerate into a simplified generalized Gaussian mixture model. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach on both synthetic and real-world datasets.

Fuzzy clustering helps group similar things together without strict boundaries. The problem is that most methods need humans to adjust some numbers (membership degree hyper-parameters) which can be tricky. Some methods handle this better than others, but often they only work well with certain types of data. This paper proposes a new method that automatically adjusts these numbers and handles different kinds of data. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for clustering! The authors tested it on some fake and real datasets and showed that it works really well.
