A new hybrid approach for document clustering

International Journal of Science Technology & Engineering

Document clustering is a more specific technique for unsupervised document organization. Clustering methods can be used to automatically group the retrieved documents into a list of meaningful categories. This paper gives an overview of some of the mostly used document clustering techniques. Further, It explains the Enhanced K-means algorithm which is initialized properly to overcome the drawback of converging of it to local optimum.

Cluster analysis is an unsupervised learning approach that aims to group the objects into different groups or clusters. So that each cluster can contain similar objects with respect to any predefined condition. Text document clustering is the important technique of text mining in efficiently organizing the large volume of documents into a small number of significant clusters. The main objective of this research work is to cluster the collection of documents into related groups based on the contents of the particular documents. In order to perform this clustering task, this research work makes use of two existing algorithms, namely K-means and Bisecting K-means algorithm, and also this research work proposes a new clustering algorithm namely Enhanced-Bisecting K-means algorithm. From the experimental results it is observed that the proposed algorithm gives the better clustering accuracy than other algorithms.

Unlabeled document collections are becoming increasingly common and available; mining such data sets represents a major contemporary challenge. Using words as features, text documents are often represented as high dimensional and sparse vectorsa few thousand dimensions is typical. Practical approaches to clustering such document vectors use an iterative procedure (e.g. k-means, EM) that is known to be especially sensitive to initial starting conditions (k and initial centroids). In this paper, we introduce a hybrid clustering algorithm that determines these initial conditions automatically, depending on the required quality for the obtained clusters. The hybrid algorithm combines the agglomerative hierarchical approach with the k-means approach to provide k disjoint clusters. However, the textual, unstructured nature of documents makes the task considerably more difficult than other data sets. We present the results of an experimental study of our introduced algorithm.

Data mining , knowledge discovery is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information information that can be used to increase revenue, cuts costs, or both. Data mining software is one of a number of analytical tools for analyzing data. It allows users to analyze data from many different dimensions or angles, categorize it, and summarize the relationships identified. Technically, data mining is the process of finding correlations or patterns among dozens of fields in large relational databases. The goal of clustering is to determine the intrinsic grouping in a set of unlabeled data. But how to decide what constitutes a good clustering? It can be shown that there is no absolute “best” criterion which would be independent of the final aim of the clustering. Consequently, it is the user which must supply this criterion, in such a way that the result of the clustering will suit

In document clustering system, some documents with the same similarity scores may fall into different clusters instead of same cluster due to calculate similarity distance between pairs of documents based on geometric measurements. To tackle this point, probability distribution of K-Means (PD K-Means) algorithm is proposed. In this system, documents are clustered based on proposed probability distribution equation instead of similarity measure between objects. It can also solve initial centroids problems of K-Means by using Systematic Selection of Initial Centroid (SSIC) approach. So, it not only can generate compact and stable results but also eliminates initial cluster problem of K-Means. According to the experiment, F-measure values increase about 0.28 in 20 NewsGroup dataset, 0.26 in R8 and 0.14 in R52 from Reuter21578 datasets. The evaluations demonstrate that the proposed solution outperforms than original method and can be applied for various standard and unsupervised

This paper deals with e-government documents multilayered clustering based on hybrid approach that combines Fuzzy-C-mean algorithm, cosine similarity and semantic similarity measures. The system described here is intended to reduce response time between citizen's questions and government answers, either to eliminate or to minimize the role of subject matter experts. Layers of documents are defined by key terms that are discovered by a clustering engine that we named ADVANSE. After short overview of clustering algorithms the paper concentrates step by step on the functionality of ADVANSE. Finally, concluding remarks emphasize some important features of this approach and gave future research directions.

With the huge upsurge in information, it has become difficult to gather relevant information within the limited time. Hence clustering methods are introduced to ease the task of gathering the relevant information in a cluster. Efficiency of clustering therefore becomes one of the crucial requirements to be met by the clustering methods. There are several methods and algorithms have been introduced. Hierarchical clustering is often portrayed as the better quality clustering approach, but it is limited because of its time complexity. In contrast, K-means and its variants have a time complexity which is linear in the number of documents. A clustering method based on the hidden semantics within the documents is proposed here for better results. The proposed method extracts features from the web documents using conditional random fields and builds a linguistic topological space based on the associations of features. The features that are used this method are TF (Term Frequency) and IDF (Inverse Document Frequency). Both TF and IDF values are best in reflecting the importance of the document in the given context. Then the documents are clustered based on the K-means clustering after finding the topics in the documents using these features. The advantage of K-means method is that it produces tighter clusters than hierarchical clustering, especially if the clusters are globular.

Automatic document clustering has played an important role in the field of information retrieval. The aim of the developed this system is to store documents in clusters and to improve its retrieval efficiently. Clustering is a technique aimed at grouping a set of objects into clusters. Document clustering is the task of combining a set of documents into clusters so that similar type of documents will be store in one cluster. We applied non overlapping method to store document into cluster. In this project, we write an algorithm which will calculate similarity of document’s keywords and according to its similarity points it will either put into existing cluster or new cluster is created and stored into that cluster. To find keywords from document various techniques are used like tokenization, stop word removal, stemmer, TF*IDF calculation

There is a tremendous spread in the amount of information on the largest shared information source like search engine. Fast and standards quality document clustering algorithms play an important role in helping users effectively towards vertical search engine, World Wide Web, summarizing & organizing information. Recent surveys have shown that partitional clustering algorithms are more suitable for clustering large datasets like World Wide Web. However the K-means algorithm is the most commonly used in partitional clustering algorithm because it can easily be implemented and most efficient interms of execution in time. In this paper we represent a short overview of method for soft approaches of an optimal fuzzy document clustering algorithm as compare to the hard approaches. In the experiment we conducted, we applied the Hard and soft approaches like K-means and Fuzzy c-means on different text document datasets. The number of document in the datasets ranges from 1500 to 2600 and the...

There are two important problems worth conducting research in the fields of personalized information services based on user model. One is how to get and describe user personal information, i.e. building user model, the other is how to organize the information resources, i.e. document clustering. It is difficult to find out the desired information without a proper clustering algorithm. Several new ideas have been proposed in recent years. But most of them only took into account the text information, but some other useful information may have more contributions for documents clustering, such as the text size, font and other appearance characteristics, so called visual features.In this paper we introduce a new technique called Closed Document Clustering Method (CDCM) by using advanced clustering metrics. This method enhances the previous method of cluster the scientific documents based on visual features, so called VF-Clustering algorithm. Five kinds of visual features of documents are...
