Hierarchical Clustering of documents-A brief study and implementation in MATLAB

The paper discusses and implements hierarchical clustering of documents. The objective is to group similar documents together using hierarchical clustering methods. The paper aims at organizing a set of documents into clusters. The paper is focused on Web Content mining by clustering web documents. Clustering is done on document corpus in MATLAB environment. The result is groups or clusters of similar documents. The input corpus is divided into clusters of documents. The clustering algorithms applied are Single linkage, complete linkage and PDDP.
