Abstract

A computer-implemented system and method for clustering similar documents is provided. Concepts are identified for a set of documents and occurrence frequencies are determined for each concept in the documents set. A distance quantifying a similarity for each of the documents in the set with one or more clusters of documents is calculated. Each document is mapped to at least one of the one or more document clusters.
