The effectiveness of query-specific hierarchic clustering in information retrieval
2002
Information Processing & Management
In this paper we take the view that if hierarchic clustering is applied to search results (query-specific clustering), then it has the potential to increase the retrieval effectiveness compared both to ...
Hierarchic document clustering has been widely applied to information retrieval (IR) on the grounds of its potential improved effectiveness over inverted file search (IFS). ...
Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank Ian Ruthven and Dr. Iain Campbell for their comments on earlier drafts of this paper, and the anonymous reviewers for their helpful suggestions. ...

Improving Weak Queries using Local Cluster Analysis as a Preliminary Framework
2015
Indian Journal of Science and Technology
To address this issue, the possibilities of using Local Cluster Analysis as a preliminary framework with the intention of improving the effectiveness of weak queries by clustering search results and creating ...
In a web retrieval task, the query is usually short and the users expect to find the relevant documents in the first several result pages. ...
The actual effectiveness of hierarchic clustering can be gauged by Cluster-based retrieval strategies, which perform a ranking of clusters instead of individual documents in response to each query 22, ...

Hierarchical clustering-based navigation of image search results
2008
Proceeding of the 16th ACM international conference on Multimedia - MM '08
First, we extract some query-related key phrases to enumerate specific semantics of the given query and cluster them into some semantic clusters using K-lines-based clustering algorithm. ...
At last, a novel user interface (UI) is designed to provide users with the diverse and helpful information based on the hierarchical clustering structure. ...
Hierarchical Cluster Navigation View The hierarchical cluster information is organized in the hierarchical cluster navigation view which is embedded in the left frame. ...

Cluster-based retrieval using language models
2004
Proceedings of the 27th annual international conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '04
We show that cluster-based retrieval can perform consistently across collections of realistic size, and significant improvements over document-based retrieval can be obtained in a fully automatic manner ...
Previous research on cluster-based retrieval has been inconclusive as to whether it does bring improved retrieval effectiveness over document-based retrieval. ...

Re-ranking algorithm using post-retrieval clustering for content-based image retrieval
2005
Information Processing & Management
Next, the retrieved images are analyzed using hierarchical agglomerative clustering methods (HACM) and the rank of the results is adjusted according to the distance of a cluster from a query. ...
In addition, we analyze the effects of clustering methods, querycluster similarity functions, and weighting factors in the proposed method. ...
So, most of the research on cluster analysis in information retrieval has employed hierarchical methods. Hierarchical clustering methods can be classified into two kinds: agglomerative and divisive. ...

Auto-generation of topic hierarchies for web images from users' perspectives
2003
Proceedings of the twelfth international conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM '03
Based on the characteristic that a Web-image query may be refined by various attributes, the proposed approach hierarchically groups similar queries from search engine logs into topic classes at different ...
Moreover, the generated hierarchy has been successfully applied to analysis of users' search interests, which have more focuses on some specific domains when compared with document requests. ...
Feature Extraction We adopt the vector-space model in information retrieval as feature representation. ...

Result diversification based on query-specific cluster ranking
2011
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology
Result diversification is a retrieval strategy for dealing with ambiguous or multi-faceted queries by providing documents that cover as many facets of the query as possible. ...
We propose a result diversification framework based on query-specific clustering and cluster ranking, in which diversification is restricted to documents belonging to clusters that potentially contain ...
Query-specific cluster-based retrieval is the idea of clustering retrieval results for a given query. ...
