Corpus Summarization and Exploration using Multi-Mosaics

Abstract

In fields such as translation studies and computational linguistics, various tools are used to analyze the content of text corpora, and extract keywords and other entities for analysis. Concordancing – arranging passages of text corpus in alphabetical order of user-defined keywords – is one of most widely used forms of text analysis. This paper describes Multi-Mosaics, a tool for text analysis using multiple implicitly linked Concordance Mosaic visualisations. Multi-Mosaics supports examining linguistic relationships within the context windows surrounding multiple extracted keywords.
