Abstract

This paper presents an integration of a novel document vector representation technique and a novel Growing Self Organizing Process. In this new approach, documents are represented as a low dimensional vector, which is composed of the indices and weights derived from the keywords of the document. An index based similarity calculation method is employed on this low dimensional feature space and the growing self organizing process is modified to comply with the new feature representation model. The initial experiments show that this novel integration outperforms the state-of-the-art Self Organizing Map based techniques of text clustering in terms of its efficiency while preserving the same accuracy level.
