Non-hierarchic document clustering by Gareth Jones, Alexander M. Robertson, Chawchat Santimetvirul, Peter Willett

“…One such problem is that of non-hierarchic clustering, where the clustering method seeks to partition a set of objects into a set of non-overlapping groups so as to maximise some external criterion of goodness of clustering, typically the extent to which the within-cluster inter-object similarities are maximised and the between-cluster similarities minimised.…”
