Assign documents to clusters according to their simility to the cluster centroids, i.e. for each document find the most similar centroid and assign that document to the corresponding cluster. 3.

Comparative Analysis of K-Means and Kohonen
... clusters (cells of map) such as the instances in the same cell are similar, and the instances in different cells are different. In this point of view, SOM gives comparable results to state-of-the-art clustering algorithm such as K-Means. Through this, it can be showed how to implement the Kohonen's ...

Nearest-neighbor chain algorithm

In the theory of cluster analysis, the nearest-neighbor chain algorithm is a method that can be used to perform several types of agglomerative hierarchical clustering, using an amount of memory that is linear in the number of points to be clustered and an amount of time linear in the number of distinct distances between pairs of points. The main idea of the algorithm is to find pairs of clusters to merge by following paths in the nearest neighbor graph of the clusters until the paths terminate in pairs of mutual nearest neighbors. The algorithm was developed and implemented in 1982 by J. P. Benzécri and J. Juan, based on earlier methods that constructed hierarchical clusterings using mutual nearest neighbor pairs without taking advantage of nearest neighbor chains.
