Abstract

Clustering Text has been an important problem in the domain of Natural Language Processing. While there are techniques to cluster text based on using conventional clustering techniques on top of contextual or non-contextual vector space representations, it still remains a prevalent area of research possible to various improvements in performance and implementation of these techniques. This paper discusses a novel technique to cluster text using attention mechanisms. Attention Mechanisms have proven to be highly effective in various NLP tasks in recent times. This paper extends the idea of attention mechanism in clustering space and sheds some light on a whole new area of research
