Abstract

This paper investigates the feasibility and effectiveness of online clustering of Web search results by genre. Although there are several research studies that have investigated the accuracy of classifying Web pages by genres, research has focused only on off-line clustering and classification due to the large number of documents on the Web. This research intends to investigate the feasibility of creating sets of Web pages to represent main genres on the Web. Each genre, as identified in the work of Santini (2006), will be represented by a set of Web pages. Web search results will be compared to those sets and classified accordingly. Search results will be grouped according to their similarities to which set of genre representatives. The resulting clusters of Web search results will be rendered to the user. A user study will be conducted to examine the validity and accuracy of online clustering based on Web genres.
