Abstract

To conduct content analysis over text data, one may look out for important named objects and entities that refer to real world instances, synthesizing them into knowledge relevant to a given information seeking task. In this paper, we introduce a visual analytics tool called ER-Explorer to support such an analysis task. ER-Explorer consists of a data model known as TUBE and a set of data manipulation operations specially designed for examining entities and relationships in text. As part of TUBE, a set of interestingness measures is defined to help exploring entities and their relationships. We illustrate the use of ER-Explorer in performing the task of finding associations between two given entities over a text data collection.
