As the size of the World Wide Web and the type of documents it holds grow, the
need for tools helping users to find their required information becomes more increasingly
important. There are several ways to summarize, navigate through or
retrieve documents on the web, such as query-based search and tag clouds; but
neither are sufficient for both getting a summary and finding desired documents.
In this thesis, we introduce BubbleNet: a new interface that helps users to get
an overview of document collections and explore them by providing an interactive
network of topics, their semantic relationships and their related documents. Our
experiments show that BubbleNet gives a better overview, is faster and more useful
in certain information retrieval tasks. -
