Abstract

An information processing apparatus including an identifying unit that identifies a group to which content belongs from one or more predetermined groups based on metadata describing descriptions of the content; and a clustering unit that clusters a first set of the contents that is not identified and classifying the first set into a cluster based on the metadata.

Claims (26)

1. An information processing apparatus, including a processor, comprising:

identifying means for identifying a group to which content belongs from one or more predetermined groups based on metadata describing the content; and

clustering means for clustering a first set of the content that has been not identified and classifying the first set into a cluster based on the metadata,

wherein the identified group to which the content belongs has a relevance ratio of the content, the value of the relevance ratio of the content being equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold,

wherein the relevance ratio of the content is calculated based on values of a plurality of keywords of the content, the plurality of keywords of the content matching with identifier words in the identified group.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the clustering means clusters a second set of the content that belongs to a selected group selected by a user or a selected cluster selected by the user into a second cluster.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

retrieving means for retrieving related content that relates to the content that is a base point for retrieval based on the metadata,

wherein the identifying means identifying a group to which the related content belongs.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a presentation control means for controlling the presentation of the contents after the contents are classified into each of the groups and the clusters.

5. An information processing method, executed by a processor, comprising the steps of:

identifying a group to which a content belongs from one or more predetermined groups based on metadata describing descriptions of a content; and

clustering a set of the contents that has not been identified and classifying the set into a cluster based on the metadata,

wherein the identified group to which the content belongs has a relevance ratio of the content, the value of the relevance ratio of the content being equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold,

wherein the relevance ratio of the content is calculated based on values of a plurality of keywords of the content, the plurality of keywords of the content matching with identifier words in the identified group.

6. A computer-readable medium storing a computer program executed by a computer, the program comprising the steps of:

identifying a group to which a content belongs from one or more predetermined groups based on metadata describing descriptions of a content; and

clustering a set of the contents that has not been identified and classifying the set into a cluster based on the metadata,

wherein the identified group to which the content belongs has a relevance ratio of the content, the value of the relevance ratio of the content being equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold,

wherein the relevance ratio of the content is calculated based on values of a plurality of keywords of the content, the plurality of keywords of the content matching with identifier words in the identified group.

7. An information processing apparatus, including a processor, comprising:

an identifying unit which identifies a group to which a content belongs from one or more predetermined groups based on metadata describing descriptions of a content; and

a clustering unit which clusters a first set that is a set of the contents that has not been identified and classifies the first set into a cluster based on the metadata,

wherein the identified group to which the content belongs has a relevance ratio of the content, the value of the relevance ratio of the content being equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold,

wherein the relevance ratio of the content is calculated based on values of a plurality of keywords of the content, the plurality of keywords of the content matching with identifier words in the identified group.
