distance

distance is a small browser application and extension to the DayPI to provide term vectors for articles returned from Daylife, and a demonstration of how classic weighted term analysis of the results as a corpus can be used in the browser to show the user what articles might be worth their time reading. That is, which articles are more likely to contain new information about a topic.

Better algorithms for weighted term analysis, distance measure, and visualizations of the distances between the returned results can be built into clients on top of the DayPI providing term vectors to begin with. The key point is to consider the search results to be a corpus, and treat them as such for the purposes of comparison and clustering.
