  Visual unrolling of network evolution and the analysis of dynamic discourse
Brandes U., Corman S. Information Visualization 2(1): 40-50, 2003.  Type: Article

Brandes and Corman describe a method of visualizing a series of changes in a graph (an evolving network) as a stack of layers, one for each time step. Each vertex is thus a column at a fixed point through the layers in which it persist...

  Mining text documents for thematic hierarchies using self-organizing maps
Yang H., Lee C. In Data mining. Hershey, PA: Idea Group Publishing, 2003.  Type: Book Chapter

The automatic classification of documents is a hot topic in natural language processing research right now, and consequently, so is the automatic generation of document classification schemes. Hierarchical classifications, rather than ...

  Exploiting syntactic analysis of queries for information retrieval
Mittendorfer M., Winiwarter W. Data & Knowledge Engineering 42(3): 315-325, 2002.  Type: Article

It is often thought that information retrieval would be improved by performing full linguistic analyses on queries and documents, rather than just treating them as strings or bags of words. After all, if the system fully “un...

  Meaningful term extraction and discriminative term selection in text categorization via unknown-word methodology
Lai Y., Wu C. ACM Transactions on Asian Language Information Processing 1(1): 2002.  Type: Article

Text categorization is the process of assigning documents to pre-defined categories. For example, news articles could be categorized as sports, finance, and so on. Conventional methods of text categorization use a set of pre-classifie...
