چکیده

Clustering is used in information retrieval systems to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the retrieval process. Clustering is achieved by partitioning the documents in a collection into classes such that documents that are associated with each other are assigned to the same cluster. This association is generally determined by examining the index term representation of documents or by capturing user feedback on queries on the system. In cluster-oriented systems, the retrieval process can be enhanced by employing characterization of clusters. In this paper, we present the techniques to develop clusters and cluster characterizations by employing user viewpoint. The user viewpoint is elicited through a structured interview based on a knowledge acquisition technique, namely personal construct theory. It is demonstrated that the application of personal construct theory results in a cluster representation that can be used during query as well as to assign new documents to the appropriate clusters.

Conceptual Clustering with Iceberg Concept Lattices

We introduce the notion of iceberg concept lattices and show their use in Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). Iceberg lattices are a conceptual clustering method, which is well suited for analyzing very large databases. They also serve as a condensed representation of frequent itemsets, as starting point for computing bases of association rules, and as a visualization method for association...

Conceptual Clustering of Text Clusters

Common clustering techniques have the disadvantage that they do not provide intensional descriptions of the clusters obtained. Conceptual Clustering techniques, on the other hand, provide such descriptions, but are known to be rather slow. In this paper, we discuss a way of combining both techniques. We rst cluster the documents by a variant of k{Means, using a thesaurus as background knowledge...
