Visualizing Concept Based Text Searches

This paper presents a novel approach to concept-based text searches. Users submit queries in the form of keywords or questions, which the Inquizit search engine translates into related concepts. For example, when searching “What color is the sky?”, key concepts such as Color, Hue, and Atmosphere are identified, leading to relevant document extracts like “the sky is blue.” The paper includes detailed methodologies such as 3D layout mechanisms and clustering techniques to enhance the visualization of concepts and document relationships. This approach aims to improve search efficiency and user engagement.

  1. Visualizing Concept Based Text Searches Zack Jacobson (zack.jacobson@cac.gc.ca) Ben Houston (ben.houston@cac.gc.ca)

  2. Concept Based Queries • User gives a query as keywords or in the form of a question. • Search engine (Inquizit) identifies concepts related to the query. • For each concept relevant portions of documents are identified.

  3. An Example... 1) The Query: What color is the sky? 2) The Concepts: Color, Hue, Sky, Atmosphere 3) The Extracts and Documents: “the sky is blue.” Questions Children Ask “the bluish hue results from the refraction of light in the upper atmosphere” Introduction to Physics

  4. Visualizing Relations Concepts. Extracts -- relates the Concepts to the Documents. Documents. sky blue Intro to Physics Questions Children Ask

  5. 3D Layout Mechanism - 1 Concepts 3 fixed planes Extracts Documents
