Overview
- Provides new findings on theoretical aspects of agglomerative hierarchical clustering
- Discusses theoretical foundations of some basic methods, e.g., single linkage, using a fuzzy concept
- Considers new aspects such as network clustering, use of positive definite kernels, and the extended Ward method

About the author
Dr. Miyamoto was born in Osaka, Japan, in 1950. He received the B.S., M.S., and the Dr. Eng. degrees in Applied Mathematics and Physics Engineering from Kyoto University, Japan, in 1973, 1975, and 1978, respectively. He was Assistant Professor from 1980 to 1987 and Associate Professor from 1987 to 1990 in the University of Tsukuba. He was Professor with the Faculty of Engineering, the University of Tokushima, where he was working from 1990 to 1994. After working as Professor at the University of Tsukuba from 1994, he retired on March 31, 2016, and became Professor Emeritus from April 1, 2016.
His research interests include methodology for fuzzy systems and uncertainty modeling. In particular, he has been working on data clustering algorithms and related classification methods, multisets, rough sets, and algorithms for data mining. He is Member of the Japan Society of Fuzzy Theory and Systems, and Japanese Classification Society. He has served a number of internationalconferences as Chair, Co-chair, and Committee Member. He received excellent paper awards from the Japan Society of Fuzzy Theory and Systems in 1994 and 1999. He has published three books of which two are in English and the other in Japanese. He also has published one edited book and over 300 research papers. His papers/books have been cited more than 2,000 times. He became a fellow of International Fuzzy Systems Association in 2007. He was also elected to be a fellow of Japanese Classification Society in 2017.
