Abstract

In most traditional techniques of document clustering, the number of total clusters is not known in advance and the cluster that contain the target information cannot be determined since the semantic nature is not associated with the cluster. The well-known K-means clustering algorithm partially solves these problems by allowing users to specify the number of clusters. However, if the pre-specified number of clusters is modified, the precision of each result also changes. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new clustering algorithm based on the Kea keyphrase extraction algorithm which returns several keyphrases from the source documents by using some machine learning techniques. In this paper, documents are grouped into several clusters like K-means, but the number of clusters is automatically determined by the algorithm with some heuristics using the extracted keyphrases. Our Kea-means clustering algorithm provides easy and efficient ways to extract test documents from massive quantities of resources.
