In this paper, we define a validity measure for fuzzy criterion clustering which is a novel approach to fuzzy clustering that in addition to being non-distance-based, addresses the cluster validity problem. The model is then recast as a bilevel fuzzy criterion clustering problem. We propose an algorithm for this model that solves both the validity and clustering problems. Our approach is validated via some sample problems.
