Abstract

In this paper, a new clustering algorithm called DynamicHierarchical Staris introduced. Our approach aims to construct a hierarchy of overlapped clusters, dealing with dynamic data sets. The experimental results on several benchmark text collections show that this method obtains smaller hierarchies than traditional algorithms while achieving a similar clustering quality. Therefore, we advocate its use for tasks that require dynamic overlapped clustering, such as information organization, creation of document taxonomies and hierarchical topic detection.
