Practice Talk - Enhancing Exploration with a Faceted Browser through Summarization

Wednesday, September 2, 2015 12:45 pm - 12:45 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)
Speaker: Greg Drzadzewski
Abstract: An enhanced faceted browsing system has been developed to support users' exploration of large multi-tagged document collections. It provides summary measures of document result sets at each step of navigation through a set of representative terms and a diverse set of documents. These summaries are derived from pre-materialized views that allow for quick calculation of centroids for various result sets. The utility and efficiency of the system is demonstrated on the New York Times Annotated Corpus.

This will be a short practice talk.
