    Study Notes

    Text and Document Visualization

    • Visualization aids in analyzing large datasets from libraries, emails, and the web.
    • Visualization types depend on the task, ranging from searching for words/phrases/topics to finding patterns in structured data.
    • Common tasks include searching for words, phrases, topics, or relationships within partially/fully structured documents.

    Introduction

    • A corpus is a collection of documents, containing words, sentences, paragraphs, documents, or collections of these, potentially including images/videos.
    • Elements within a corpus are treated as atomic for tasks/analysis/visualization.
    • Documents often have attributes like format, author, creation date, and metadata.
    • Information retrieval systems query corpora, evaluating document relevance to queries.
    • This requires processing the text's semantic meaning.
    • Statistics like word frequency or paragraph count can aid in author identification or relationship analysis.
    • Finding similarities/relationships between documents/paragraphs aids in understanding the corpus's themes.

    Levels of Text Representation

    • Lexical Level: Converts text into a sequence of tokens (words, characters, phrases etc).
    • Syntactic Level: Identifies and tags tokens to specify their function within the sentence structure (part of speech).
    • Semantic Level: Extracts meaning and relationships between pieces of knowledge from syntactic structures.

    Vector Space Model

    • A term vector is a vector representing an object (paragraph, document, corpus), where each dimension is the weight of a particular word in that object.
    • Stop words ("the," "a") are often removed.
    • Words with shared stems are often grouped together. 
    • Pseudocode counts unique tokens, excluding stop words.

    Computing Weights

    • Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) calculates the relative importance of a word in a document.
    • A word's importance is higher if it's frequent in the document but infrequent in the entire corpus.
    • TF-IDF(w) = TF(w) * log(N/DF(w)) where TF(w) is the term frequency, DF(w) is the document frequency, and N is the total number of documents.

    Zipf's Law

    • Word frequency distributions often follow a power law (Zipfian distribution).
    • The most frequent word has the highest frequency, the second most frequent has half the frequency, and so on.

    Single Document Visualizations

    • Word Clouds: Font size and darkness reflect word frequency within the document.
    • Word Trees: Hierarchical visualization showing relationships between frequently occurring terms.
    • TextArc: Represents how terms relate to text lines where terms most frequently occur.

    Document Collection Visualizations

    • Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs): Unsupervised learning algorithm to display similar documents closer together.
    • Themescapes: Summaries of corpora as 3D landscapes, with taller mountains representing more frequent themes in the documents.
    • Document Cards: Visualization using images and key terms, visualizing a document's semantics.

    Extended Text Visualizations

    • Software Visualization Tools: Visualize code statistics (age, modifications, programmers) for source code files.
    • Search Result Visualizations: Use rectangles to represent documents, with dark squares indicating the frequency of query terms within the corresponding segments.

    Interaction Concepts

    • Navigation: User controls for altering view position and scale (e.g., panning, rotating, zooming).
    • Selection: User controls for selecting specific entities or regions for later actions.
    • Filtering: User controls for reducing the visualized data based on specified criteria.
    • Reconfiguring: Alteration of data representation (reorder axes, different views based on transforming the data structure).
    • Encoding: Modifying the visualization's presentation to improve information extraction.
    • Connection: Linking selected data elements between visual representations.
    • Abstraction/Elaboration : Techniques for focusing in on a data subset while simplifying or obscuring other elements (distortion).
