Abstract

We propose a new approach to the problem of information exploration and knowledge discovery in which we conceptualize the computer as a human-like partner that works symbiotically with humans to achieve joint goals. We are applying this approach to implement interactive visualization systems with emphasis on analyzing the semantic content of literature. Our goal is to develop an interactive visual representation of natural language analysis algorithms to foster fluid and intuitive query refinement and system evaluation.
