聚类词

Question

I have a list of words. I am looking for a way to cluster these words together semantically. Can anyone tell me about a library or tool that accomplishes this? I have been searching this on net a lot but nothing suits my requirements. Most of the words are technical and so won't be found in any dictionary. I want to perform ontological clustering on the list of words.

Answer 1

Do you have a collection so you will have a context to work with?

If you ha a given collection you can use you can compute the number of documents each pair of terms appear together and, based on that calculate some semantic similarity between them like [Jaccard] ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaccard_index ) or [Dice] ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice%27s_coefficient ).
