Abstract
In one embodiment, identifying clusters of words includes accessing a record that records affinities. An affinity between a first and second word describes a quantitative relationship between the first and second word. Clusters of words are identified according to the affinities. A cluster comprises words that are sufficiently affine with each other. A first word is sufficiently affine with a second word if the affinity between the first and second word satisfies one or more affinity criteria. A clustering analysis is performed using the clusters.
