STAIR: A System for Topical and Aggregated Information Retrieval

Category: Data Management, Software and Web Development

Overview Web content has exploded dramatically in the last decade and search is becoming increasingly complex. In the current search paradigm, the user has to enter the query and is immediately presented results that are typically accessed sequentially. However, there are scenarios where the above model is not appropriate, either because results being in consumable form is more important than immediacy of results, or because the it is difficult and time consuming to navigate the results in sequential fashion. In this work, the author describes the architecture, implementation and utility of STAIR- The System for Topical and Aggregated Information Retrieval, that uses a variant of focused crawling and retrieves relevant information from the web.
