A personalized search engine based on web-snippet hierarchical clustering

Paolo Ferragina, Antonio Gullì · 2005

In this paper we propose a hierarchical clustering engine, called SnakeT, that is able to organize on-the-fly the search results drawn from 16 commodity search engines into a hierarchy of labeled folders. The hierarchy o#ers a complementary view to the flat-ranked list of results returned by current search engines. Users can navigate through the hierarchy driven by their search needs. This is especially useful for informative, polysemous and poor queries.
