Abstract

One of the fastest growing research fields in recent times is Document Clustering. It gained its importance in text mining due to the tremendous increase of documents on internet. Textual data management is the need of every organization and clustering the documents is one of the fastest and widely used techniques. Document clustering is an unsupervised technique that organizes similar documents into classes in order to improve information retrieval. The overall evaluation of the research work is performed by comparing the working procedure and merits of each method with other in terms of some performance metrics. This research work concluded with the better research method which can be applied to cluster the similar documents on the basis of text. The comparative analysis shows the accuracy of documents clustered using K-Means are high compare to other approaches of unsupervised learning in terms of F-Measure, Precision, recall and time complexity.
