A Review of Modern Document Clustering Algorithm

It is important to emphasize that getting from a collection of documents to a clustering of the collection, is not merely a single operation, but is more a process in multiple stages. These stages include more traditional information retrieval operations such as crawling, indexing, weighting, filtering etc. Some of these other processes are central to the quality and performance of most clustering algorithms, and it is thus necessary to consider these stages together with a given clustering algorithm to harness its true potential. We will give a brief overview of the clustering process, before we begin our literature study and analysis.
