SBIR Phase II: Organized Search Results with Document Clustering

这一小型企业创新研究第二阶段项目将在文档集群技术方面取得进展。该公司的专有软件将一长串原始搜索结果转换成有组织的分层文件夹，以Windows资源管理器的风格进行浏览。该软件可以方便地查看相关信息，否则这些信息将隐藏在搜索结果中。它还支持毫不费力的知识发现：用户一眼就能了解到与查询对应的主子主题。该公司拥有第一个在速度、集群质量和交互便利性方面足以大规模使用的文档集群技术。由此产生的软件产品将增强网络、企业和数据库搜索引擎的能力。市场将包括搜索引擎供应商、系统集成商和商业、学术界和政府的大型组织。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will produce advances in document clustering technology. The company's proprietary software transforms a long list of raw search results into organized hierarchical folders that are browsed in Windows Explorer style. This software brings into easy view relevant information that otherwise would remain buried in the search results. It also enables effortless knowledge discovery: at a glance, a user learns themain subtopics corresponding to the query. The company has the first document clusteringtechnology good enough for mass use, in terms of speed, quality of the clustering, and ease of interaction. The resultant software product will augment the capabilities of web, enterprise, and database search engines. The market will include search engine vendors, system integrators and large organizations in business, academe, and government.
