Abstract

A fuzzy neighborhood model for analyzing information systems having topological structures on occurrences of keywords is proposed and associated kernel functions are studied. Sufficient conditions when a neighborhood defines a kernel are derived. Accordingly, agglomerative clustering algorithms are applicable which employ kernel functions. An illustrative example is given.
