Text document clustering has become an increasingly important problem in recent years because of the tremendous amount of unstructured data which is available in various forms in online forums such as the web, social networks, and other information networks. Clustering is a very powerful data mining technique to organize the large amount of information on the web. Traditionally, document clustering methods do not consider the semantic structure of the document. This paper addresses the task of developing an effective and efficient method to improve the semantic structure of the text documents. A method has been developed that performs the following: tag the documents for parsing, replacement of idioms with their original meaning, semantic weights calculation for document words and apply semantic grammar. The similarity measure is obtained between the documents and then the documents are clustered using Hierarchical clustering algorithm. The method adopted in this work is evaluated on different data sets with standard performance measures and the effectiveness of the method to develop in meaningful clusters has been proved.
