What is Story cluster?
Verified 5 August 2026
Clustering by story is what makes news retrieval usable. It converts forty syndicated copies into one item with a group size, and provides the unit over which corroboration is counted.
Clusters are built from near-duplicate detection plus embedding similarity, so they catch both verbatim syndication and independent reporting of the same event.
