This chapter presents Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Fireworks Algorithm for clustering (IT2FWAC). It is an optimization method for finding the optimal number of clusters based on the centroid features which uses the Fireworks Algorithm (FWA), but with a dynamic adjustment of parameters using an Interval Type 2 Fuzzy Inference System (IT2FIS). Three variations of the IT2FWAC are proposed to find the optimal number of clusters for different datasets: IT2FWAC -I, IT2FWAC -II, and IT2FWAC –III. They are explained in detail.
