Clustering is a process of dividing similar data objects in data set into clusters and acquiring meaningful information in the data. The main issues related to clustering are the effective clustering of high dimensional data and optimization. This study proposed a method of measuring similarity based on SVM and a new method of calculating the number of clusters in an efficient way. The high dimensional data are mapped to Feature Space ones using kernel functions and then similarity between neighboring clusters is measured. As for created clusters, the desired number of clusters can be got using the value of similarity measured and the value of Δd. In order to verify the proposed methods, the author used data of six UCI Machine Learning Repositories and obtained the presented number of clusters as well as improved cohesiveness compared to the results of previous researches.
