Explainable Graph Spectral Clustering For GloVe-like Text Embeddings

arXiv:2508.14075v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: In a previous paper, we proposed an introduction to the explainability of Graph Spectral Clustering results for textual documents, given that document similarity is computed as cosine similarity in term vector space.
In this paper, we generalize…
