Information Visualization
Visual text mining, or information visualization, puts large textual sources in a
visual hierarchy or map and provides browsing capabilities, in addition to simple
searching. Informatik V’s DocMiner [7] is a tool that shows mappings of large amounts of text, allowing the user to visually analyze the content. The user can interact with the document map by zooming, scaling, and creating sub-maps. Information visualization is useful when a user needs to narrow down a broad range of documents and explore related topics.
