This paper proposes a bidirctional hierarchical clustering algorithm of simultaneous clustering words of different categories.During clustering,the process is interactional and alternant.We construct an objective function based on Minimum Description Length (MDL).In order to solve the problem caused by sparse data two concepts of modificatory degree and modificatory distance are proposed.The further application to clustering Chinese adjectives and nouns demonstrates the algorithm is effective.
