Document visualization: an overview of current research

Abstract: As the number of sources and quantity of document information explodes, efficient and intuitive visualization tools are desperately needed to assist users in understanding the contents and features of a document, while discovering hidden information. This overview introduces fundamental concepts of and designs for document visualization, a number of representative methods in the field, and challenges as well as promising directions of future development. The focus is on explaining the rationale and characteris… Show more

“…A word cloud [26] is a useful tool to analyze and find out the most common words in a document which are summarized in a simplified figure. Gan et al [26] considered the word clouds as the most versatile methods over many document visualization tools. The generated figures used the size and the color to indicate clusters of words with almost the same frequencies.…”

“…Visualization as a means of illustration has a long tradition in linguistics, e.g., through spectograms for sound waves, tables for paradigms or graphs and attribute-value matrices for syntactic information. Besides such traditionally established visualizations, recent years have seen the emergence of new visualization ideas coming out of the field of VA (Keim et al, 2008) for the analysis and representation of linguistic data (Sun et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2014;Gan et al, 2014). A considerable amount of research has specifically focused on the visualization of historical linguistic change.…”
