Hello,
my team has been working for the last couple of days on integrating carrot2 into our project as a sort of src (search result clustering) solution.
Great to hear this; is there a public URL or something?
i was rather impressed with the results, until i checked out vivisimo's demo and saw a bit of a difference quality wise,
Well, we're not exactly a multi-million company, so quality might not be identical, you know ;)
has anyone thoroughly compared the two? algorithm wise and quality
Undoable. Vivivismo is a commercial company, noone knows what they're using. Quality is hard to define either as clustering is usually ambiguous. Carrot2 also has a commercial spin off and the commercial algorithm is faster and gives slightly better results, so you might want to check out that option -- www.carrotsearch.com
We're also tuning the open source algorithms and installations. Let us know if you need it (it's a consulting service and we charge for that).
