Abstract

The divisive MinMaxCut algorithm of Ding et al.[3] produces more accurate clustering results than existing document cluster methods. Multilevel algorithms [4, 1, 5, 7] have been used to boost the speed of graph partitioning algorithms. We combine these two algorithms to construct faster and more accurate algorithm. In this new algorithm, the original graph is coarsened, partitioned by the divisive MinMaxCut algorithm and then decoarsened. A refining algorithm is also applied to improve the accuracy at each level.
