Comparing the Performance of SOM with Traditional Methods for Document Clustering Using Wordnet Ontologies

Abstract

Retrieving useful information has become challenging due to the rapid expansion of web material. To improve the retrieval outcomes, efficient clustering methods are required. Document clustering is the process of identifying similarities and differences among given objects and grouping them into clusters with comparable features. We used WordNet lexical as an addition to compare several document clustering techniques in this article. The suggested method employs WordNet to determine the relevance of the concepts in the text, and then clusters the content using several document clustering algorithms (K-means, Agglomerative Clustering, and self-organizing maps). We wish to compare alternative ways for making document clustering algorithms more successful.
