Visual Analytics for Supporting Entity Relationship Discovery on Text Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
To conduct content analysis over text data, one may look out for important named objects and entities that refer to real world instances, synthesizing them into knowledge relevant to a given information seeking task. In this paper, we introduce a visual analytics tool called ER-Explorer to support such an analysis task. ER-Explorer consists of a data model known as TUBE and a set of data manipulation operations specially designed for examining entities and relationships in text. As part of TUBE, a set of interestingness measures is defined to help exploring entities and their relationships. We illustrate the use of ER-Explorer in performing the task of finding associations between two given entities over a text data collection.

NEREx: Named-Entity Relationship Exploration in Multi-Party Conversations
We present NEREx, an interactive visual analytics approach for the exploratory analysis of verbatim conversational transcripts. By revealing different perspectives on multi-party conversations, NEREx gives an entry point for the analysis through high-level overviews and provides mechanisms to form and verify hypotheses through linked detail-views. Using a tailored named-entity extraction, we ab...

We present an argument for using visual analytics to aid Grounded Theory methodologies in qualitative data analysis. Grounded theory methods involve the inductive analysis of data to generate novel insights and theoretical constructs. Making sense of unstructured text data is uniquely suited for visual analytics. Using natural language processing techniques such as parts-ofspeech tagging, retri...

We propose MultiNode-Explorer, a visual analytics framework that is capable of transforming multidimensional datasets into an entity-relationship (E-R) model and visualizing the data as node-link diagrams. The framework accepts an E-R schema, a set of relational data tables, and an interface specification file, and generates a multimodal and multivariate graph and a corresponding interactive ap...
