Fuzzy Clustering of Documents

چکیده
This paper presents a short overview of methods for fuzzy clustering and states desired properties for an optimal fuzzy document clustering algorithm. Based on these criteria we chose one of the fuzzy clustering most prominent methods – the c-means, more precisely probabilistic c-means. This algorithm is presented in more detail along with some empirical results of the clustering of 2-dimensional points and documents. For the needs of documents clustering we implemented fuzzy c-means in the TextGarden environment. We show few difficulties with the implementation and their possible solutions. As a conclusion we also propose further work that would be needed in order to fully exploit the power of fuzzy document clustering in TextGarden.

Data mining, also known as knowledge discovery in database, is the process to discover unknown knowledge from a large amount of data. Text mining is to apply data mining techniques to extract knowledge from unstructured text. Text clustering is one of important techniques of text mining, which is the unsupervised classification of similar documents into different groups. The most important step...

متن کاملWeb Document Clustering Using Fuzzy Equivalence Relations
Conventional clustering means classifying the given data objects as exclusive subsets (clusters).That means we can discriminate clearly whether an object belongs to a cluster or not. However such a partition is insufficient to represent many real situations. Therefore a fuzzy clustering method is offered to construct clusters with uncertain boundaries and allows that one object belongs to overl...
متن کاملDocument Clustering Based On Semi-Supervised Term Clustering
The study is conducted to propose a multi-step feature (term) selection process and in semi-supervised fashion, provide initial centers for term clusters. Then utilize the fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm for clustering terms. Finally assign each of documents to closest associated term clusters. While most text clustering algorithms directly use documents for clustering, we propose to f...
