We explore how the availability of a sensemaking tool influences users' knowledge externalization strategies. On a large display, users were asked to solve an intelligence analysis task with or without a bidirectionally linked concept-graph (BLC) to organize insights into concepts (nodes) and relations (edges). In BLC, both nodes and edges maintain "deep links" to the exact source phrases and sections in associated documents. In our control condition, we were able to reproduce previously described spatial organization behaviors using document windows on the large display. When using BLC, however, we found that analysts apply spatial organization to BLC nodes instead, use significantly less display space and have significantly fewer open windows.
Text analytics tools, such as @cite_9 or 's @cite_15 , categorize text entities and present them as graphs, scatter plots, or fairly free-form shoeboxes'', in which the connections between entities are made explicit by color coding and visual links. Mind mapping tools ( @cite_14 ) enable users not only to add text nodes, but also images and document links to the mind map for externalizing their mental concepts.

In this paper, we consider the task of text categorization as a graph classification problem. By representing textual documents as graph-of-words instead of historical n-gram bag-of-words, we extract more discriminative features that correspond to long-distance n-grams through frequent subgraph mining. Moreover, by capitalizing on the concept of k-core, we reduce the graph representation to its densest part – its main core – speeding up the feature extraction step for little to no cost in prediction performances. Experiments on four standard text classification datasets show statistically significant higher accuracy and macro-averaged F1-score compared to baseline approaches. This paper describes an advanced news analytics and exploration system that allows users to visualize trends of entities like politicians, countries, and organizations in continuously updated news articles. Our system improves state-of-the-art text analytics by linking ambiguous names in news articles to entities in knowledge bases like Freebase, DBpedia or YAGO. This step enables indexing entities and interpreting the contents in terms of entities. This way, the analysis of trends and co-occurrences of entities gains accuracy, and by leveraging the taxonomic type hierarchy of knowledge bases, also in expressiveness and usability. In particular, we can analyze not only individual entities, but also categories of entities and their combinations, including co-occurrences with informative text phrases. Our Web-based system demonstrates the power of this approach by insightful anecdotic analysis of recent events in the news. Knowledge graph completion aims to perform link prediction between entities. In this paper, we consider the approach of knowledge graph embeddings. Recently, models such as TransE and TransH build entity and relation embeddings by regarding a relation as translation from head entity to tail entity. We note that these models simply put both entities and relations within the same semantic space. In fact, an entity may have multiple aspects and various relations may focus on different aspects of entities, which makes a common space insufficient for modeling. In this paper, we propose TransR to build entity and relation embeddings in separate entity space and relation spaces. Afterwards, we learn embeddings by first projecting entities from entity space to corresponding relation space and then building translations between projected entities. In experiments, we evaluate our models on three tasks including link prediction, triple classification and relational fact extraction. Experimental results show significant and consistent improvements compared to state-of-the-art baselines including TransE and TransH.

We propose a method to highlight query hits in hierarchically clustered collections of interrelated items such as digital libraries or knowledge bases. The method is based on the idea that organizing search results similarly to their arrangement on a fixed reference map facilitates orientation and assessment by preserving a user's mental map. Here, the reference map is built from an MDS layout of the items in a Voronoi treemap representing their hierarchical clustering, and we use techniques from dynamic graph layout to align query results with the map. The approach is illustrated on an archive of newspaper articles.
