Contextual Exploration of Text Collections

  • Conference paper
Computational Linguistics and Intelligent Text Processing (CICLing 2004)

Abstract

Nowadays there is a large amount of digital texts available for every purpose. New flexible and robust approaches are necessary for their access and analysis. This paper proposes a text exploration scheme based on hypertext, which incorporates some elements from information retrieval and text mining in order to transform the blind navigation of the hypertext into a step-by-step informed exploration. The proposed scheme is of relevance since it integrates three basic exploration functionalities, i.e. access, navigation and analysis. The paper also presents some preliminary results on the generation of hypertext from two text collections in an implementation of the scheme.
