A Clustering-based Approach for Supporting Document-Category Integration
Chih‐Ping Wei, Tsang-Hsiang Cheng · Journal of the Association for Information Systems · 2003
Integration of relevant categorized documents into existent categories of an organization or individual is an important issue in the e -commerce era.Existing categorization-based approach for document-category integration (specifically, ENB) incurs several limitations, including homogeneous assumption on categorization schemes used by master and source catalogs and requirement for a large-sized master categories as training data.In this study, we developed a Clustering-based Category Integration (CCI) t echnique to address the problems inherent to categorization-based approach.Using the ENB as benchmarks, the empirical evaluation results showed that CCI appeared to improve the effectiveness of document-category integration accuracy in different integration scenarios and seemed to be less sensitive to the size of master categories than ENB.
