Abstract

The article reports application of clustering algorithms for creating hierarchical groups within Wikipedia articles. We evaluate three spectral clustering algorithms based on datasets constructed with usage of Wikipedia categories. Selected algorithm has been implemented in the system that categorize Wikipedia search results in the fly.
