Method of and system for clustering documents

A computer-implemented method for generating clusters of documents using a clustering algorithm, each cluster of the clusters of documents having documents that share at least one common topic,

• the method executable by a server, the server executing the clustering algorithm, the method comprising:
• receiving, by the server, a first document and a second document, the first document and the second document having respective document content;
• determining, by the server, for a potential cluster including the first document and the second document:
• an updated first metric parameter, the updated first metric parameter being indicative of a degree of complementariness of document content in the potential cluster if the first document and the second document were to be merged into the potential cluster,
• an updated second metric parameter, the updated second metric parameter being indicative of a degree of dilution of the document content in the potential cluster if the first document and the second document were to be merged into the potential cluster, and
• an updated combined metric parameter based on the updated first metric parameter and the updated second metric parameter;
• generating, by the server, based on the updated combined metric parameter, a cluster, the cluster including the first document and the second document.
