Eigencluster search engine
- davi 17y agoHm, looks like HN maybe sent too much load their way -- the service is not working for me now that this submission has made it to the front page. Too bad, I would be interested to hear people's take on this. The idea is to return a set of clusters of search results -- so for example the phrase "Mickey" would return grouped results for "Mickey Mouse", "Mickey Mantle", "Mickey Rourke", etc. It was doing a pretty good job when I played with it earlier. Here is the about page, with a link to details of the clustering method: http://arc2.cc.gatech.edu/about.html http://arc2.cc.gatech.edu/about.html
- dangrossman 17y agoThis was news more than half a decade ago; at this point, all the major search engines do clustering at various levels.
- davi 17y agoDo you have any more info on this? Even if so, this work seems interesting because they are showing the derived clusters to the users, thereby providing value. (Though I'm interested more in their approach than in this application -- it's a hard problem that pertains to my work on neural circuit reconstruction.)
