Interactive information search in text data collections

Abstract

This article presents a new idea for retrieving in text repositories, as well as it describes general infrastructure of a system created to implement and test those ideas. The implemented system differs from today's standard search engine by introducing process of interactive search with users and data clustering. We present the basic algorithms behind our system and measures we used for results evaluation. The achieved results indicates the proposed method can be useful for improvement of classical approaches based on keywords. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
