A Review of Data and Document Clustering pertaining to various Distance Measures

Abstract

Data is being generated at an increasing rate in a variety of fields as science and technology advance. The generated data are being saved for future decision-making. Data mining is the process of extracting patterns and useful information from massive amounts of data. The distance measure, which is used to calculate how different two objects are from one another, is one such instrument. We have conducted a comprehensive survey of how the distance measures behave when employed with different algorithms. Furthermore, the effectiveness and performance of some novel similarity measures proposed by other authors are investigated.
