A Study of Fuzzy Clustering of Search Results for Exploratory Search

Abstract

In Exploratory Search, repetition search is required. When the retrieving person spends much time on selection of pages, the efficiency of search remarkably falls. I think that the efficiency of Exploratory Search improves by classifying a page based on similarity. Since the WEB page cannot classify a class alternatively, I use Fuzzy Clustering. This technique clusters the morphological-analysis result of the snippet of search results based on the vector given by the evaluation function. The classification result by fuzzy clusteri ng is shown and application to Exploratory Search of fuzzy clustering is considered.
