BubbleNet: An Interactive Interface for Retrieving Documents

  • Author / Creator
    Mohajeri, Saeed
  • 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.
