Getting started
Architecture overview
 With new adopters in mind, the 3.0 release significantly simplifies the Java API of Carrot2. Three statements are enough to get started: 
Map<String, Object> attributes = 
    new HashMap<String, Object>();
attributes.put(AttributeNames.QUERY, "cluster me");

List<Cluster> clusters = new SimpleController()
  .process(attributes, YahooDocumentSource.class, 
      LingoClusteringAlgorithm.class).getClusters();
Contrary to the 2.x line, the 3.0 release requires Java JDK 1.5 or higher.
Improved clustering quality
Lingo tuning attributes
STC tuning attributes
Carrot2's default clustering algorithm, Lingo, has been re-implemented for improved clustering quality and extensibility. For both Lingo and STC algorithms, we have exposed a significant number of attributes that will allow you to fine-tune them for your needs.
