An investigation of linguistic features and clustering algorithms for topical document clustering
We investigate four hierarchical clustering methods (single-link, complete-link, groupwise-average, and single-pass) and two linguistically motivated text features (noun phrase heads and proper names) in the context of document clustering. A statistical model for combining similarity information from multiple sources is described and applied to DARPA’s Topic Detection and Tracking phase 2 (TDT2) data. This model, based on log-linear regression, alleviates the need for extensive search in order to determine optimal weights for combining input features. Through an extensive series of experiments with more than 40,000 documents from multiple news sources and modalities, we establish that both the choice of clustering algorithm
