Search Logs as Information Footprints: Supporting Guided Navigation for Exploratory Search

by Xuanhui Wang, Bin Tan, Azadeh Shakery, ChengXiang Zhai

This is a paper on building a exploration interface based on a clustering algorithm (star clustering), that can arrange search queries according to the similarities of the search queries into tree structure. Then the material is shown to the users in a tree structured interface, incorporating search utility.

It's quite similar to what we are doing and may be I will develop another parallel clustering algorithm based on affinity propagation. But let's first scan the result of star clustering.
