Abstract

Non-hierarchical k-means algorithms have been implemented in hardware, most frequently for image clustering. Here, we focus on hierarchical clustering of text documents based on document similarity. To our knowledge, this is the first work to present a hierarchical clustering algorithm designed for hardware implementation and ours is the first hardware-accelerated implementation
