BubbleNet: An innovative Exploratory Search and Summarization Interface with Applicability in Health Social Media

Full Text: icdec16.pdf PDF

We analyse the application of various interfaces to facilitate exploratory search and summarization of documents, especially BubbleNet, an innovative interface for summarizing corpus that also allows discovery of new knowledge that the user may not have previously been looking for. BubbleNet is a visual force-directed graph that displays an interactive and dynamic network of topics, semantic relationships, and related documents based on a corpus. Our experimental results show that BubbleNet gives a better user experience and faster performance in comparison with other exploratory search and summarization interfaces such as query-based search, word clouds, hierarchical directories, and topic graphs. We also explore the applicability of BubbleNet to Cardea, a health portal under development for patients and medics.
