Abstract: Due to the increase in the quantity of data across the world, it turns out to be very complex task for analyzing those data. Categorize those data into remarkable collection is one of the common forms of understanding and learning. This leads to the requirement for better data mining technique. These facilities are provided by a standard data mining technique called Clustering. The key intention of this technique is to categorize a dataset into a set of clusters that contains similar data items, as computed by some distance function. One of the widely used clustering techniques is K-Means clustering. K-Means clustering is very simple and effective for clustering. But, the main disadvantage of this technique is when the large dataset is used for clustering. To overcome this difficulty, various researchers focus on suggesting better alteration in K-Means clustering. This paper provides a new technique to modify K-Means clustering which can result in better performance. For initialization, this paper uses an improved version of Hopfield Artificial Neural Network (HANN) algorithm. Also, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is in combined with K-Means algorithm. The experimental result indicates that the proposed KMeans clustering algorithm results in better clustering result.
