ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method to make effective use of display space. In an embodiment of the invention, given a heterogeneous set of images along with metadata or nearby text, similar images are recursively clustered into a k-tree using the k-means algorithm. In an embodiment of the invention, the invention is particularly useful for showing image search results on small mobile devices.
