Clustering OCR-ed texts for browsing document image database
説明
Document clustering is a powerful tool for browsing throughout a document database. Similar documents are gathered into several clusters and a representative document of each cluster is shown to users. To make users infer the content of the database from several representatives, the documents must be separated into tight clusters, in which documents are connected with high similarities. At the same time, clustering must be fast for user interaction. We propose an O(n/sup 2/) time, O(n) space cluster extraction method. It is faster than the ordinal clustering methods, and its clusters compare favorably with those produced by Complete Link for tightness. When we deal with OCR-ed documents, term loss caused by recognition faults can change similarities between documents. We also examined the effect of recognition faults to the performance of document clustering.
