The retrieved documents have to be transformed into proper data structure for the clustering algorithms of statistics and machine learning. A popular data structure for document clustering is document-term matrix. This matrix has the occurred frequency value of a term in each document. There is a sparsity problem in this matrix because most frequencies of the matrix are 0 values. This problem affects the clustering performance. The sparseness of document-term matrix decreases the performance of clustering result. So, this research uses the factor score by factor analysis to solve the sparsity problem in document clustering. The document-term matrix is transformed to document-factor score matrix using factor scores in this paper. Also, the document-factor score matrix is used as input data for document clustering. To compare the clustering performances between document-term matrix and document-factor score matrix, this research applies two typed matrices to self organizing map (SOM) clustering.

In this paper, we have focused that the number of word in the web document affects definite clustering performance. Our experimental results have clearly shown the relationship between the amounts of word and its impact on clustering performance. We also have presented an algorithm that can be supplemented of the contrast portion through co-links frequency of web documents. Testing bench of this research is 1,449 web documents included on 'Natural science' category among the Naver Directory. We have clustered these objects by term-based clustering, link-based clustering, and hybrid clustering method, and compared the output results with originally allocated category of Naver directory.

A classic document clustering technique may incorrectly classify documents into different clusters when documents that should belong to the same cluster do not have any shared terms. Recently, to overcome this problem, internal and external knowledge-based approaches have been used for text document clustering. However, the clustering results of these approaches are influenced by the inherent structure and the topical composition of the documents. Further, the organization of knowledge into an ontology is expensive. In this paper, we propose a new enhanced text document clustering method using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) and WordNet. The semantic terms extracted as cluster labels by NMF can represent the inherent structure of a document cluster well. The proposed method can also improve the quality of document clustering that uses cluster labels and term weights based on term mutual information of WordNet. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better performance than the other text clustering methods.

The purpose of this study is to develop a document clustering model for automatic classification of knowledge. Two test collections of newspaper article texts and journal article abstracts are built for the clustering experiment. Various feature reduction criteria as well as term weighting methods are applied to the term sets of the test collections, and cosine and Jaccard coefficients are used as similarity measures. The performances of complete linkage and K-means clustering algorithms are compared using different feature selection methods and various term weights. It was found that complete linkage clustering outperforms K-means algorithm and feature reduction up to almost 10% of the total feature sets does not lower the performance of document clustering to any significant extent.

In this paper, we propose a enhancing document clustering method using term re-weighting by the expanded term. The proposed method extracts the important terms of documents in cluster using semantic features, which it can well represent the topics of document to expand term using WordNet. Besides, the method can improve the performance of document clustering using re-weighting terms based on the expanded terms. The experimental results demonstrate appling the proposed method to document clustering methods achieves better performance than the normal document clustering methods.

The purpose of this study is to generate the local level knowledge structure of a single document, similar to end-of-the-book indexes and table of contents of printed material through the use of term clustering and cluster representative term selection. Furthermore, it aims to analyze the functionalities of the knowledge structure. and to confirm the applicability of these methods in user-friend1y information services. The results of the term clustering experiment showed that the performance of the Ward's method was superior to that of the fuzzy K -means clustering method. In the cluster representative term selection experiment, using the highest passage frequency term as the representative yielded the best performance. Finally, the result of user task-based functionality tests illustrate that the automatically generated knowledge structure in this study functions similarly to the local level knowledge structure presented In printed material.

Document clustering is an important method for document analysis and is used in many different information retrieval applications. This paper proposes a new document clustering model using the re-weighted term based NMF(non-negative matrix factorization) to cluster documents relevant to a user's requirement. The proposed model uses the re-weighted term by using user feedback to reduce the gap between the user's requirement for document classification and the document clusters by means of machine. The Proposed method can improve the quality of document clustering because the re-weighted terms. the semantic feature matrix and the semantic variable matrix, which is used in document clustering, can represent an inherent structure of document set more well. The experimental results demonstrate appling the proposed method to document clustering methods achieves better performance than documents clustering methods.

In this paper, we use non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to refine the document clustering results. NMF is a dimensional reduction method and effective for document clustering, because a term-document matrix is high-dimensional and sparse. The initial matrix of the NMF algorithm is regarded as a clustering result, therefore we can use NMF as a refinement method. First we perform min-max cut (Mcut), which is a powerful spectral clustering method, and then refine the result via NMF. Finally we should obtain an accurate clustering result. However, NMF often fails to improve the given clustering result. To overcome this problem, we use the Mcut object function to stop the iteration of NMF.

Clustering of data is of a great interest in many data mining applications. In the field of document clustering, a document is represented as a data in a high dimensional space. Therefore, the document clustering can be accomplished with a general data clustering techniques. In this paper, we introduce a document clustering system based on similarity among documents. The developed system consists of three functions: 1) gatherings documents utilizing a search agent; 2) determining similarity coefficients between any two documents from term frequencies; 3) clustering documents with similarity coefficients. Especially, the document clustering is accomplished by a hybrid algorithm utilizing genetic and K-Means methods.

This study is to develop a hierarchic clustering model fur document classification and browsing in OPAC systems. Two automatic indexing techniques (with and without controlled terms), two term weighting methods (based on term frequency and binary weight), five similarity coefficients (Dice, Jaccard, Pearson, Cosine, and Squared Euclidean). and three hierarchic clustering algorithms (Between Average Linkage, Within Average Linkage, and Complete Linkage method) were tested on the document collection of 175 books and theses on library and information science. The best document clusters resulted from the Between Average Linkage or Complete Linkage method with Jaccard or Dice coefficient on the automatic indexing with controlled terms in binary vector. The clusters from Between Average Linkage with Jaccard has more likely decimal classification structure.
