Abstract

In practice, few of the documents returned by a search engine are valuable to a user. Which documents are valuable depends on the context of the query. In this paper we propose a framework for dynamic conceptual clustering of web documents based on clusters of users that share common interests. It can support personalization of a search based on a search engine that ‘knows’ the context of the user information needs and uses it to tailor the search results.
