Abstract
Hierarchies serve as browsing tools to access information in document collections. This article explores techniques to derive browsing hierarchies that can be used as an information map for task-based search. It proposes a novel minimum-evolution hierarchy construction framework that directly learns semantic distances from training data and from users to construct hierarchies. The aim is to produce globally optimized hierarchical structures by incorporating user-generated task specifications into the general learning framework. Both an automatic version of the framework and an interactive version are presented. A comparison with state-of-the-art systems and a user study jointly demonstrate that the proposed framework is highly effective.

SIGIR '13: Proceedings of the 36th international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrievalUser generated contents (UGCs) carry a huge amount of high quality information.
