Description
Summary:Clustering documents enable the user to have a good overall view of the information contained in the documents. Most classical clustering algorithms assign each data to exactly one cluster, thus forming a crisp partition of the given data, but fuzzy clustering allows for degrees of membership, to which a data belongs to different clusters. In this system, documents are clustered by using fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm. FCM clustering is one of well-know unsupervised clustering techniques. However FCM algorithm requires the user to pre-define the number of clusters and different values of clusters corresponds to different fuzzy partitions. So the validation of clustering result is needed. PBM index and F-measure are used for cluster validity.
