I am currently having a dilemma of how to use the cosine similarities into a clustering method. What I did was take the public firms in the US for a given year, get their business description and then computed the cosine similarity between the documents. For example, this is what a portion of the data looks like:
Now, the next step is to group those companies into groups based on the similarity between them. However, I don't know how to put the similarity scores to use. I looked at a few tutorials online on how to use clustering algorithms in python with Scikit-learn, but from what I have seen, they had an X and Y variable for a data point, while I have one measure between 2 variables (company 1 and company 2). If anyone can point me in the right direct or has some insight about what I should do please share. Much appreciated! Thank you for you time!
If you have any questions please let me know
