- Abstract
- An automatic classification technique has been developed, based on the character structure of words. Dice's similarity coefficient is computed from the number of matching diagrams in pairs of character strings, and used to cluster sets of character strings. A sample of words from a chemical data base was chosen to contain certain stems derived from the names of chemical elements. They were successfully clusterd into groups of semantically related words. Each cluster is characterised by the root word from which all its members are derived. A second example of titles from Mathematical Reviews was clustered into well-defined classes, which compare favourably with the subject groupings of Mathematical Reviews
