Exploration of a Text Collection and Identification of Topics by Clustering

چکیده
Abstract. An application of cluster analysis to identify topics in a collection of posters abstracts from the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Annual Meeting in 2006 is presented. The topics were identified by selecting from the abstracts belonging to each cluster the terms with the highest scores using different ranking schemes. The ranking scheme based on logentropy showed better performance in this task than other more classical TFIDF schemes. An evaluation of the extracted topics was performed by comparison with previously defined thematic categories for which titles are available, and after assigning each cluster to one dominant category. The results show that repeated bisecting k-means performs better than standard k-means.

A clustering approach for mineral potential mapping: A deposit-scale porphyry copper exploration targeting
This work describes a knowledge-guided clustering approach for mineral potential mapping (MPM), by which the optimum number of clusters is derived form a knowledge-driven methodology through a concentration-area (C-A) multifractal analysis. To implement the proposed approach, a case study at the North Narbaghi region in the Saveh, Markazi province of Iran, was investigated to discover porphyry ...

Data mining, also known as knowledge discovery in database, is the process to discover unknown knowledge from a large amount of data. Text mining is to apply data mining techniques to extract knowledge from unstructured text. Text clustering is one of important techniques of text mining, which is the unsupervised classification of similar documents into different groups. The most important step...

This article proposes offline language-free writer identification based on speeded-up robust features (SURF), goes through training, enrollment, and identification stages. In all stages, an isotropic Box filter is first used to segment the handwritten text image into word regions (WRs). Then, the SURF descriptors (SUDs) of word region and the corresponding scales and orientations (SOs) are extr...

Text clustering and classification are two main tasks of text mining. Feature selection plays the key role in the quality of the clustering and classification results. Although word-based features such as term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectors have been widely used in different applications, their shortcoming in capturing semantic concepts of text motivated researches to use...
