visualizing textual clusters
Information Design | Methodology | Natural Language Processing | Statistics | Categories | Classification | Clustering | Evaluation | VisualizationI started my search on google scholar, to identify recent articles on this topic.
"visualizing text clusters" produced 0 hits.
"visualizing clusters" produced 120 hits. (32 post 2006)
Found one great one:
Chen, K. & Liu, L. (2006). iVIBRATE: Interactive visualization-based framework for clustering large datasets. ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS), 24, 245-294.
Georgia Tech seems to put out a lot of good stuff.
Then I decided to change tracks; to see if 'text content' or document clustering comes up:
text clustering methods produced 20,500 hits.
I found 2 great articles (after restricting PubDate to post-2002):
Beil, F., Ester, M., & Xu, X. (2002). Frequent term-based text clustering. In (pp. 436-442). ACM Press New York, NY, USA.
I have to mine Citeseer for its references.
Zheng, Y., Cheng, X., Huang, R., & Man, Y. (2006). A Comparative Study on Text Clustering Methods. In Advanced Data Mining and Applications (pp. 644-651).
This will be excellent for my IAT 802 project. I will read it tonight and post notes. And its only 8 pages!
It seems like the CS guys who do document clustering don't worry too much about Viz.
Maybe I will have to do 2 streams for this Lit Review...
Or maybe the 'tools' that produce visualizations of document contents arent in the academic or professional literatures...
