Abstract

A Greedy Algorithm for Document Clustering (Greedy Clustering) is proposed in this paper. Various cluster validity indices (DB, CH, SD, AS) are used to find the most appropriate optimization function for Greedy Clustering. The clustering algorithms are tested and compared on Reuter-21578. The results show that AS Index shows the best performance and the fastest running time among cluster indices in various experiments. Also Greedy Clustering with AS Index has 15~20% better performance than traditional clustering algorithms (K-means, Group Average).
