Finding the appropriate information and understanding to human research is a delicate task when dealing with an outstanding number of unstructured texts created daily. Hence the objective of clustering algorithms which are part of the powerful text mining tools. In this paper, we propose a novel text document clustering based on a new hybrid feature selection method that we call HFSM. This technique extracts statistical and semantic relevant terms to pilot the clustering mechanism. The experiments conducted on Reuters corpus demonstrate the practical aspects of our algorithm and show that it generates more accurate clustering than the one obtained by other existing algorithms.
