Abstract

The paper describes the Noodles system, a clustering engine for Web and desktop searches. By employing a new algorithm for document clustering, based on Latent Semantic Indexing, Noodles provides good classification power to simplify browsing of search results by casual users. In the paper, we provide some background about the problem of clustering search results, give an overview of the novel techniques implemented in the system, and present its architecture and main features.
