[Sigia-l] Teragram Categorizer?

[Seth Earley]

IBM spent a lot of time and energy developing Discovery Server which was
supposed to do clustering, automatic categorization and taxonomy generation.
The terms were machine generated and needed intervention by human indexers.
The algorithms were supposed to learn from changes to categories and manual
reindexing but this process tended to poison the algorithms.  Training sets
needed to be very large and have good data. I co authored a book about the
technology (with Wendi Pohs of IBM). The technology was largely abandoned
but some of the DNA is now part of IBM's Omni Search.
