Effective Document Clustering with Particle Swarm Optimization

摘要

The paper presents a comparative analysis of K-means and PSO based clustering performances for text datasets. The dimensionality reduction techniques like Stop word removal, Brill's tagger algorithm and mean Tf-Idf are used while reducing the size of dimension for clustering. The results reveal that PSO based approaches find better solution compared to K-means due to its ability to evaluate many cluster centroids simultaneously in any given time unlike K-means.
