Visualization of Textual Data

Abstract

How do we go about applying the multivariate techniques defined through the pedagogical examples in the preceding chapters to real-life situations? The information is so complex, and the possible points of view so numerous, that it is impossible to recommend a single path leading from the problem to a definitive solution. In this chapter we shall rather attempt to recognize different ways of delaying somewhat the moment when the user must necessarily intercede in an interpretative manner. Our aim, briefly, is to extend the scope of the analysis that is controllable and reproducible — we choose to use these simple words instead of the perhaps more controversial terms objective and automatic.
