Figure 6

Top: The entire dendrogram of the Grolier’s Encyclopedia dataset offers little help as a visual tool because it is too dense and leaf labels do not fit. Lower: (Left) An “upper cut” view of the dendrogram above. A leaf with an asterisk indicates that it is the prototype representing a branch that has been cut away. (Note that what appear to be three-way splits are actually two consecutive splits that happen to be at the same height.) (Right) An exploded view of the music* node on Left. This node represents a branch of 155 words; the upper cut of this branch is shown. The prototypes of each interior node are shown in italic type.
