Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for populating clusters of documents is provided. A set of clusters is placed in a display in relation to a common origin. One of a plurality of unclustered documents in the display is selected and an angle θ of the document from the common origin is determined. An angle σ of the cluster relative to the common origin is computed for each cluster. A difference is determined between the document angle θ and one such cluster angle σ. A predetermined variance is applied to the difference. The document is placed into the cluster when the difference is less than the variance.
Claims21
A computer-implemented system for populating clusters of documents, comprising:
- a presentation module to place a set of clusters in a display in relation to a common origin;
- a document selection module to select one of a plurality of unclustered documents in the display and to determine an angle θ of the document from the common origin;
- a cluster placement module to compute for each cluster, an angle σ of the cluster relative to the common origin;
- a placement calculation module to determine a difference between the document angle θ and one such cluster angle σ;
- a predetermined variance applied to the difference;
- and
- a clustering module to place the document into the cluster when the difference is less than the variance.
