Watset 2.8.3-SNAPSHOT API

This is an open source implementation of the Watset algorithm for fuzzy graph clustering (aka soft clustering). This implementation is multi-threaded, extensible, contains unit tests, and can be easily embedded into any Java-based graph processing pipeline (see examples). Also, it offers a convenient command-line tool for running Watset over the edge lists in text files.

Watset is available on Maven Central and GitHub Packages. The source code is published on GitHub at https://github.com/nlpub/watset-java.
