• PROJECT DESCRIPTION

I will be working on the Clustering of Search Results project for GSoC 2016.

The clustering functionality that we aim to implement will be a hybrid of the standard K-means clustering algorithm called as PSO K-means clustering. Particle Search Optimization is mainly used to find the initial clustering centroids to help K-means derive the most optimal clustering result.

The main goal of this project would be to provide a clustering functionality that is fast and provides quality clusters.

Currently, upto the mid term evaluation, we have successfully set up an API and a test clusterer which uses the API. They seem to work fine. The timeline from now onwards shows the work that has been planned ahead of the mid term evaluations :
