Abstract
A method and apparatus for determining geographic clusters of geographical content may include computation of a first evaluation metric. The first evaluation metric may be descriptive of a distribution of geo-location points within a cluster of a plurality of geographic clusters. A second evaluation metric may also be computed that is descriptive of coherence of the plurality of geographic clusters. Geo-location points of the geographical content may be clustered based, at least in part on the first and second evaluation metrics.
