DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIGS. 1-5, a process of the method of the present invention is as follows.

Firstly, a similar words bank is established, wherein multilingual words having identical or similar meanings are recorded in each line of the similar words bank, and whether the words are verbs or nouns is marked. N documents participating in clustering serves as an input.

Based on the similar words bank, contents and citations of the documents, extract eight eigenvalues of citation relationship (f₁), identical references (f₂), identical strings (f₃), similar strings (f₄), identical nouns (f₅), similar nouns (f₆), identical verbs (f₇) and similar verbs (f₈) to form an eigenvector F(i),

F(i)=(f₁(i),f₂(i),f₃(i),f₄(i),f₅(i),f₆(i),f₇(i),f₈(i)).

Calculate a product of references

f ₁(i)f₁(j)=bool×W;

calculate a product of the identical references

$f_2\left(i\right)f_2\left(j\right)=\frac{W}{d}\times \frac{\mathrm{CommonRefs}\left(i,j\right)}{\mathrm{Max}\left\{\mathrm{Refs}\left(i\right),\mathrm{Refs}\left(j\right)\right\}};$

calculate a product of the identical strings

$f_3\left(i\right)f_3\left(j\right)=\frac{W}{d^2}\times \frac{\mathrm{Length}\left(\mathrm{CommonStrs}\left(i,j\right)\right)}{\mathrm{Max}\left\{\mathrm{Length}\left(i\right),\mathrm{Length}\left(j\right)\right\}};$

calculate a product of the similar strings

$f_4\left(i\right)f_4\left(j\right)=\frac{W}{d^3}\times \frac{\mathrm{Length}\left(\mathrm{SimilarStrs}\left(i,j\right)\right)}{\mathrm{Max}\left\{\mathrm{Length}\left(i\right),\mathrm{Length}\left(j\right)\right\}};$

calculate a product of the identical nouns

$f_5\left(i\right)f_5\left(j\right)=\frac{W}{d^4}\times \frac{\mathrm{CommonNouns}\left(i,j\right)}{\mathrm{Max}\left\{\mathrm{Nouns}\left(i\right),\mathrm{Nouns}\left(j\right)\right\}};$

calculate a product of the similar nouns

$f_6\left(i\right)f_6\left(j\right)=\frac{W}{d^5}\times \frac{\mathrm{SimilarNouns}\left(i,j\right)}{\mathrm{Max}\left\{\mathrm{Nouns}\left(i\right),\mathrm{Nouns}\left(j\right)\right\}};$

calculate a product of the identical verbs

$f_7\left(i\right)f_7\left(j\right)=\frac{W}{d^6}\times \frac{\mathrm{CommonVerbs}\left(i,j\right)}{\mathrm{Max}\left\{\mathrm{Verbs}\left(i\right),\mathrm{Verbs}\left(j\right)\right\}};$

calculate a product of the similar verbs

$f_8\left(i\right)f_8\left(j\right)=\frac{W}{d^7}\times \frac{\mathrm{SimilarVerbs}\left(i,j\right)}{\mathrm{Max}\left\{\mathrm{Verbs}\left(i\right),\mathrm{Verbs}\left(j\right)\right\}}.$

Based on calculation of product of the eigenvalues, similarity of any two documents i and j is calculated, Proximity(i,j)==Σ_q=1⁸f_q(i)f_q(j). Thus, the N documents in total form an N×N similarity matrix.

Based on the N×N similarity matrix, accumulation points are selected from a set of the documents. On an initial condition, two most dissimilar documents, i.e., with a minimum Proximity(i,j), are selected for serving as two initial accumulation points p₁ and p₂. Add p₁ and p₂ to an accumulation point set denoted as Points. Residual accumulation points are selected according to a following maximum and minimum

$p_{m+1}=\mathrm{Arg}\underset{p\notin \mathrm{Points}}{\mathrm{Min}}\left\{{\mathrm{Max}}_{r=1,2,\dots ,m}\mathrm{Proximity}\left(p,p_r\right)\right\}.$

Add the residual accumulation points to the accumulation point set Points in sequence. Until a stopping accumulation point greater than a threshold value Th is selected, i.e.,

$\underset{p\notin \mathrm{Points}}{\mathrm{Min}}\left\{\mathrm{Max}\mathrm{Proximity}\left(p,p_r\right)\right\}>\mathrm{Th},$

stop selecting accumulation points, wherein the stopping accumulation point is not added to the set Points.

In the formula, p_r, r=1, 2, . . . , m represents documents selected as the accumulation points. Then an (m+1)th accumulation point is selected from documents which haven't been selected as the accumulation points and added to the set Points. A threshold value Th is set for the formula mentioned above. When a stopping accumulation point selected satisfies

$\underset{p\notin \mathrm{Points}}{\mathrm{Min}}\left\{\mathrm{Max}\mathrm{Proximity}\left(p,p_r\right)\right\}>\mathrm{Th},$

stop selecting the accumulation points. In addition, the stopping accumulation point is not added to the set Points. Thus, M accumulation points, i.e., M clusters, are selected.

Add residual N−M documents to the M clusters denoted as Cluster(p_r), r=1, 2, . . . , M. In the beginning, each set only has one documents selected as the accumulation points. For a document i not added to the clusters, calculate a most similar cluster according to a formula

$p_q=\mathrm{Arg}\underset{r=1,2,\dots ,M}{\mathrm{Max}}\left\{\frac{{\sum }_{p\in \mathrm{Cluster}\left(p_r\right)}\mathrm{Proximity}\left(p,i\right)}{\mathrm{Cluster}\left(p_r\right)}\right\}.$

The residual N−M documents are added in sequence to a set of the cluster. Select a document i_q with a greatest similarity is in each time to add to the set of the cluster and update the Cluster(p_q) till all documents are added to the set of the cluster.

Dispose the M clusters in a structure of a circular ring. At the beginning, two of the clusters are randomly selected and disposed in the circular ring. M−2 clusters are left. Randomly select one cluster is randomly from the M−2 clusters, and find an appropriate position for the cluster selected in the circular ring according to a formula

$\left(p_s,p_t\right)=\mathrm{Arg}\mathrm{Max}\left\{\frac{{\sum }_{i\in \mathrm{Cluster}\left(p_r\right),j\in \mathrm{Cluster}\left(p_s\right)}\mathrm{Proximity}\left(i,j\right)}{\mathrm{Cluster}\left(p_r\right)\mathrm{Cluster}\left(p_s\right)}+\frac{{\sum }_{i\in \mathrm{Cluster}\left(p_r\right),k\in \mathrm{Cluster}\left(p_t\right)}\mathrm{Proximity}\left(i,k\right)}{\mathrm{Cluster}\left(p_r\right)\mathrm{Cluster}\left(p_t\right)}\right\}.$

A new ring p_r is added between the clusters p_s and p_t which are most similar.

In the whole process, a final output comprises the M clusters and is disposed in the structure of the circular ring. Each cluster comprises similar documents without restriction on languages. The closer is a distance between clusters in the structure of the circular ring, the more similar are the clusters; and otherwise the farther is the distance therebetween, the more dissimilar are the clusters.
