Methods and Apparatus for Steering the Analyses of Collections of Documents.

摘要

A method for steering the analysis of a collection of documents includes receiving query terms for use in querying a database including a collection of documents; representing at least some of the query terms in a matrix; rotating document vectors associated with the documents to match the matrix to produce a matrix of rotated document vectors, each document vector representing a numeric vector created in association with individual documents; grouping the rotated document vectors into clusters, each cluster having one or more documents; and projecting the clusters to display visual information of the documents, the visual information including a summary view of the collection of documents. Program code and a system are also provided.
