Abstract
Automatic clustering of languages seems to be one possible application that arose during our study of mathematical methods for computing dissimilarities between strings. The results of this experiment are discussed.

Evolution-Based Tabu Search Approach to Automatic Clustering
Traditional clustering algorithms (e.g., the K-means algorithm and its variants) are used only for a fixed number of clusters. However, in many clustering applications, the actual number of clusters is unknown beforehand. The general solution to this ...
