| Abstract | Many interesting papers have been written in the recent past on kernel clustering and many attractive results have also been demonstrated. Here we question the rationality behind such clustering approaches. Using simple data sets we argue and demonstrate that it is not a good idea to find clusters in the kernel space when the objective is to look for clusters in the original data because in the kernel space the data may have a different geometry from that in the original feature space. In particular we demonstrate the following : (1) improper choice of the number of clusters may lead to very counterintuitive clusters (e.g., instead of merging nearby clusters, it may merge clusters that are far from each other) and (2) improper choice of kernel parameters has a significant effect on the extracted clusters and it can even impose arbitrary cluster structures that are undoubtedly absent in the original data. However, we definitely do not imply that kernel clustering can never produce desirable results. In fact, kernel clustering could be useful provided we can choose right kernel parameters. But the process being unsupervised, we do not have a solution to this issue yet. In this study, for illustration, we use one variant of the kernel Fuzzy C-Means (KFCM) clustering algorithm in conjunction with Polynomial kernels. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
