Title
An efficient clustering approach for large document collections
Abstract
A vast amount of unstructured text data, such as scientific publications, commercial reports and webpages are required to be quickly categorized into different semantic groups for facilitating online information query. However, the state-of-the art clustering methods are suffered from the huge size of documents with high-dimensional text features. In this paper, we propose an efficient clustering algorithm for large document collections, which performs clustering in three stages: 1) by using permutation test, the informative topic words are identified so as to reduce feature dimension; 2) selecting a small number of most typical documents to perform initial clustering 3) refining clustering on all documents. The algorithm was tested by the 20 newsgroup data and experimental results showed that, comparing with the methods which cluster corpus based on all document samples and full features directly, this approach significantly reduced the time cost in an order while slightly improving the clustering quality.
