Proposes a new approach for classifying text documents into two disjoint classes. Highlights include a brief overview of document clustering; a data mining approach called the One Clause at a Time (OCAT) algorithm which is based on mathematical logic; vector space model (VSM); and comparing the OCAT to the VSM.

A relatively reliable and valid hierarchy of clusters of objects is plotted from the highest column entries, exclusively, of a matrix of interassociations between the objects. Having developed out of a loose definition of types, the method isolates both loose and highly definitive types, and all those in between. (Author/RC)

Three approaches to the graphic representation of similarity and dissimilarity matrices are compared and contrasted. Specifically, Kruskal's multidimensional scaling, Johnson's hierarchical clustering, and Waern's graphing techniques are employed to depict, in two dimensions, data representing the structure of a set of botanical concepts. Each of…
