The late Gerard Salton was a professor at Cornell. There is a very thorough
bibliography at:
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/%7Eley/db/indices/a-tree/s/Salton:Gerard.
html
A lot of his papers are available online.
You might also try looking at recent volumes of the SIGIR proceedings under
the rubric "automatic classification", "document clustering", etc.
Most of this stuff is easily found on the Web using search engines like Alta
Vista.
