Abstract

Visual methods were used for pre-cluster assessment and useful cluster partitions. Existing visual methods, such as visual assessment tendency (VAT), spectral VAT (SpecVAT), cosine-based VAT (cVAT), and multi-viewpoints cosine-based similarity VAT (MVS-VAT), effectively assess the knowledge about the number of clusters or cluster tendency. Tweets data partitioning is underlying the problem of social data clustering. Cosine-based visual methods succeeded widely in text data clustering. Thus, cVAT and MVS-VAT are the best suited methods for the derivation of social data clusters. However, MVS-VAT is facing the problem of scalability issues in terms of computational time and memory allocation. Therefore, this paper presents the sampling-based MVS-VAT computing technique to overcome the scalability problem in social data clustering to select sample inter-cluster viewpoints. Standard health keywords and benchmarked TREC2017 and TREC2018 health keywords are taken to extract health tweets in the experiment for illustrating the performance comparison between existing and proposed visual methods.
