In this survey, we discuss the issues that must be addressed in the development of a Web clustering engine, including acquisition and preprocessing of search results, their clustering and visualization. Search results clustering, the core of the system, has specific requirements that cannot be addressed by classical clustering algorithms. We emphasize the role played by the quality of the cluster labels as opposed to optimizing only the clustering structure. We highlight the main characteristics of a number of existing Web clustering engines and also discuss how to evaluate their retrieval performance. Some directions for future research are finally presented.}, acmid = {1541884}, address = {New York, NY, USA}, articleno = {17}, author = {Carpineto, Claudio and Osi\'{n}ski, Stanislaw and Romano, Giovanni and Weiss, Dawid}, doi = {10.1145/1541880.1541884}, interhash = {95beef372c0d7c6f57caf0862896a0bb}, intrahash = {1921bab51019d89a0b740c43d8aafd23}, issn = {0360-0300}, issue = {3}, issue_date = {July 2009}, journal = {ACM Comput.

In this paper we present GALOIS, a system that automates and applies this theory. The algorithm utilized by GALOIS to build a concept lattice is incremental and efficient, each update being done in time at most quadratic in the number of objects in the lattice. Also, the algorithm may incorporate background information into the lattice, and through clustering, extend the scope of the theory. The application we present is concerned with information retrieval via browsing, for which we argue that concept lattices may represent major support structures. We describe a prototype user interface for browsing through the concept lattice of a document-term relation, possibly enriched with a thesaurus of terms. An experimental evaluation of the system performed on a medium-sized bibliographic database shows good retrieval performance and a significant improvement after the introduction of background knowledge.
