Document clustering, which involves concepts from the fields of information retrieval, automatic topic extraction, natural language processing, and machine learning, is one of the most popular research areas in data mining. Due to the large amount of information in electronic form, fast and high-quality cluster analysis plays an important role in helping users to effectively navigate, summarize and organise this information for useful data. There are a number of techniques in the literature, which efficiently provide solutions for document clustering. However, during the last decade, researchers started to use metaheuristic algorithms for the document clustering problem because of the limitations of the existing traditional clustering algorithms. In this chapter, the authors will give a brief review of various research papers that present the area of document or text clustering approaches with different metaheuristic algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
