Abstract
Exploratory analysis of genomic data sets using unsupervised clustering techniques is often affected by problems due to the small cardinality and high dimensionality of the data set. A way to alleviate those problems lies in performing clustering in an embedding space where each data point is represented by a vector of its memberships to fuzzy sets characterized by a set of probes selected from the data set. This approach has been demonstrated to lead to significant improvements with respect the application of clustering algorithms in the original space and in the distance embedding space. In this paper we propose a constructive technique based on Simulated Annealing able to select sets of probes of small cardinality and supporting high quality clustering solutions.
