Structured Delivery, Clustering, Categorisation
Most search engines deliver the retrieved documents to the web in the form of a ranked list, which is too numerous for mental processing. In this paper, we introduce two structured methods to improve the delivery of the retrieved documents. One method is a data-driven approach, which uses the clustering technique to automatically extract topics from the retrieved documents and classify them accordingly. The other is a question-driven approach, which classifies the retrieved documents according to a set of categories derived dynamically from a user’s query. We believe that multiple organizations of the retrieved documents are necessary to meet various information seeking tasks.
