Tag Clustering using wordnet and word2vec distance metrics

Clustering a set of wordnet synsets using k-means, the wordnet pair-wise distance (semantic relatedness) of word senses using the Edge Counting method of the of Wu & Palmer (1994) is mapped to the euclidean distance to allow K-means to converge preserving the original pair-wise relationship.

By toggling use_wordnet = False to True the distance metric between words will use a GloVe model glove.6B.300d_word2vec.txt (this must be in the word2vec format) and the word2vec similarity value

extras folder is proof of concept/experimentations

To Use:

  • create a newline delimited file with a list of wordnet senses (eg. data/example_tags.txt)
  • to use wordnet set use_wordnet=True, to use word2vec use_wordnet=False
  • python generate-tag-clusters.py data/example_tags.txt 25 0.7
    • 25 is the number of clusters to segment the list of wordnet senses into.
    • 0.7 is the similarity threshold, below this the words are considered not similar
  • results places into the results folder as a json file
