In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed to help K-means jump out of a local optimum on the basis of several ideas from evolutionary computation, through the use of random and evolutionary processes. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is capable of improving the accuracy of K-means and decreasing the SSE of K-means, which indicates that the proposed algorithm can prevent K-means from falling into the local optimum to some extent.
