Digital documents such as patents, scholarly papers and research reports have author keywords which summarize the topics of documents. Different documents are likely to describe the same topic if they share the same keywords. Document clustering aims at clustering documents to similar topics with an unsupervised learning method. However, it is difficult to apply to a large amount of documents event though the document clustering is utilized to in various data analysis due to computational complexity. In this case, we can cluster and connect massive documents using keywords efficiently. Existing bottom-up hierarchical clustering requires huge computation and time complexity for clustering a large number of keywords. This paper proposes an inverted index based bottom-up clustering for keywords and analyzes the results of clustering with massive keywords extracted from scholarly papers and research reports.

Due to recent increase in applications requiring huge amount of data such as spatial data analysis and image analysis, clustering on large databases has been actively studied. In a hierarchical clustering method, a tree representing hierarchical decomposition of the database is first created, and then, used for efficient clustering. Existing hierarchical clustering methods mainly adopted the bottom-up approach, which creates a tree from the bottom to the topmost level of the hierarchy. These bottom-up methods require at least one scan over the entire database in order to build the tree and need to search most nodes of the tree since the clustering algorithm starts from the leaf level. In this paper, we propose a novel top-down hierarchical clustering method that uses multidimensional indexes that are already maintained in most database applications. Generally, multidimensional indexes have the clustering property storing similar objects in the same (or adjacent) data pares. Using this property we can find adjacent objects without calculating distances among them. We first formally define the cluster based on the density of objects. For the definition, we propose the concept of the region contrast partition based on the density of the region. To speed up the clustering algorithm, we use the branch-and-bound algorithm. We propose the bounds and formally prove their correctness. Experimental results show that the proposed method is at least as effective in quality of clustering as BIRCH, a bottom-up hierarchical clustering method, while reducing the number of page accesses by up to 26～187 times depending on the size of the database. As a result, we believe that the proposed method significantly improves the clustering performance in large databases and is practically usable in various database applications.

The purpose of state tying is to reduce the number of models and to use relatively reliable output probability distributions. There are two approaches: one is top down clustering and the other is bottom up clustering. For seen data, the performance of bottom up approach is better than that of top down approach. In this paper, we propose a new clustering technique that can enhance the undertrained triphone clustering performance. The basic idea is to tie unreliable triphones before clustering. An unreliable triphone is the one that appears in the training data too infrequently to train the model accurately. We propose to use monophone distance to preprocess these unreliable triphones. It has been shown in a pilot experiment that the proposed method reduces the error rate significantly.

The search-results clustering problem is defined as the automatic and on-line grouping of similar documents in search results returned from a search engine. In this paper, we propose a new search-results clustering algorithm specialized for a paper search service. Our system consists of two algorithmic phases: Category Hierarchy Generation System (CHGS) and Paper Clustering System (PCS). In CHGS, we first build up the category hierarchy, called the Field Thesaurus, for each research field using an existing research category hierarchy (KOSEF's research category hierarchy) and the keyword expansion of the field thesaurus by a word clustering method using the K-means algorithm. Then, in PCS, the proposed algorithm determines the category of each paper using top-down and bottom-up methods. The proposed system can be used in the application areas for retrieval services in a specialized field such as a paper search service.

최근 모바일 기기 사용자의 수가 증가함에 따라 모바일 기기 사용자의 위치정보를 관리하기 위한 기법들이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 기존의 모바일 시스템에서 위치정보를 관리하기 위한 방법으로 two-tier 방식과 two-tier 방식을 개선한 구조적 기법이 제시되었다. 구조적 기법에서는 어떻게 위치 데이터베이스를 군집화시키는 것이 매우 중요하다. 왜냐하면 데이터베이스를 군집하는 방법에 따라 업데이트 비용의 차이가 크기 때문이다. 구조적 기법을 위한 이전 연구는 set-cover 알고리즘을 기반한 bottom-up 방식의 시스템 이다. 본 논문에서는 구조적 기법의 데이터베이스 군집화를 위해 K-means clustering 알고리즘을 기반한 top-down 방식의 시스템을 사용하였고, 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제시된 방식의 시스템이 기존 방식의 시스템보다 데이터베이스 업데이트측면에서 13.67%의 성능이 향상되었음을 보였다.

이전에 수행된 연구에서 인간의 이동 패턴은 Levy flight 행동을 보인다고 알려져있다. 그러나 우리의 경험적 지식을 바탕으로 생각해 볼 때 인간의 이동 패턴을 Levy flight 행동만 가지고 나타내기에는 한계가 있어 보인다. 인간의 이동 패턴은 주위환경, 시간, 개인의 습관, 그리고 사회적 지위 등에 따라 서로 다른 모양을 보인다. 즉, 인간 이동의 형태를 파악하기 위해서는 좀 더 다양한 정보가 있어야만 인간 이동의 패턴을 사실적으로 모델링 할 수 있다. 인간의 이동 패턴을 사실적으로 모델링하기에 필요한 정보를 얻기 위해서 상향식 방법(Bottom up)으로 우선 실제 이동 패턴을 분석하여 모델링에 필요한 정보를 추출하고 다시 그 정보를 검증하는 과정으로 모델링에 필요한 정보가 구체적으로 나타나게 될 것이다. 이에 실제 인간의 이동 패턴을 분석하기 위해 아무런 매개변수 없이 개인의 GPS 데이터를 바탕으로 위치정보만을 가지고 군집화(Clustering)를 하게 되면 특정 위치에 대한 군집이 생성된다. 이러한 군집이 나타내는 것은 자주 머무는 지역, 이동 경로 등이 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 인간의 이동 정보인 GPS 데이터를 가지고 EM 군집화를 통하여 생성된 군집을 통해 인간의 이동 패턴을 분석할 것이다.

Research on group decisions and electronic meeting systems have been increasing rapidly according to the widespread of Internet technology. Although various issues have been raised in empirical research, we will try to solve an issue on idea categorizing in the group decision making process of electronic meeting systems. Idea categorizing used at existing group decision support systems was performed in a top-down procedure and mostly b participants; manual work. This resulted in tacking as long in idea categorizing as it does for idea generating clustering an idea in multiple categories, and identifying almost similar redundant categories. However such methods have critical limitation in the electronic meeting systems, we suggest an intelligent idea categorizing methodology which is a bottom-up approach. This method consists of steps to present idea using keywords, identifying keywords' affinity, computing similarity among ideas, and clustering ideas. This methodology allows participants to interact iteratively for clear manifestation of ambiguous ideas. We also developed a prototype system, IIC (intelligent idea categorizer) and evaluated its performance using the comparision experimetn with other systems. IIC is not a general purposed system, but it produces a good result in a given specific domain.

This paper proposes a graph matching algorithm based on simulated annealing, which assures the globally optimal solution for circuit partitioning for the placement in the rectilinear region occurring as a result of the pre-placement of some macro cells, or onto the nonplanar surface in some military or space applications. The circuit graph ($G_{C}$) denoting the circuit topology is formed by a hierarchical bottom-up clustering of cells, while another graph called region graph ($G_{R}$) represents the geometry of a planar rectilinear region or a nonplanar surface for circuit placement. Finding the optimal many-to-one vertex mapping function from $G_{C}$ to $G_{R}$, such that the total mismatch cost between two graphs is minimal, is a combinatorial optimization problem which was solved in this work for various examples using simulated annealing.
