Abstract

Visualization can be a very powerful tool for text/data mining. It can facilitate knowledge discovery as well as a big picture overview of overwhelmingly large amounts of data. Built as a successor to the FeatureLens utility developed at the University of Maryland Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory (HCIL), FutureLens is a Java-based (portable) software environment that can organize a large set of SGML-tagged documents for both spatial and temporal tracking of words, phrases, and entities. We demonstrate its use as a back-end scenario/plot discovery tool using outputs (tensor groups) generated from non-negative tensor factorization models applied to the IEEE VAST (Visual Analytics Science and Technology) 2007 Contest dataset.
