  • Clustering system and method
    Patent number: 8402029
    Abstract: An increase in information available to a user of computing technologies has a tendency to increase the number of topics that are similarly related. Given the large amount of information that is now available, it is increasingly likely that a first set of search results generated in response to an initial search query will contain information that is not of interest to the user. What is needed in the art is a technique to enable a search query to be conducted by taking advantage of linguistic feedback. Furthermore, what is needed is a technique to enable the presentation of search results to be refined in a manner based on what is not of interest to a user, either intrinsically or because the user has already seen and evaluated certain information and next wants to see more or different information.
