Abstract

See full text

A computer-based process is described for identifying clusters of documents that have some degree of similarity from among a set of documents that permits user interaction with the process. A plurality of seed candidate documents is identified. Candidate probes based upon the seed candidate documents are generated, and information regarding the candidate probes is displayed to a user. User input regarding the candidate probes is received, and a set of probes from which to form clusters of documents are defined based upon the user input regarding the candidate probes. A probe is selected and a cluster of documents is formed from among available documents not yet clustered using the probe. The process can be repeated to generate further clusters. The process can be implemented with a computer system, and associated programming instructions can be contained within a computer readable medium.
