Internal Linking Co-Convergence Using Clustering With Hierarchy

摘要

Certain implementations of the disclosed technology include systems and methods for internal co-convergence using clustering when there is hierarchy in the data structure. A method is included for clustering hierarchical database records into a first set of clusters having corresponding first cluster identifications (IDs), each hierarchical database record including one or more field values, the clustering based at least in part on determining similarity among corresponding field values of the hierarchical database records. The method includes receiving parent-child hierarchical relationship information for the hierarchical database records, re-clustering at least a portion of the hierarchical database records into a second set of clusters having corresponding second cluster IDs, the re-clustering based at least in part on the received parent-child hierarchical relationship information, and outputting hierarchical database record information, based at least in part on the re-clustering.
