BUAP: performance of K-Star at the INEX'09 clustering task

The aim of this paper is to use unsupervised classification techniques in order to group the documents of a given huge collection into clusters. We approached this challenge by using a simple clustering algorithm (K-Star) in a recursive clustering process over subsets of the complete collection. The presented approach is a scalable algorithm which may automatically discover the number of clusters. The obtained results outperformed different baselines presented in the INEX 2009 clustering task.
