Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Ontario Institute of Technology
$100,000.00
Linguistic Information Visualization
FY 2017-18
Summary
From tweets and emails to academic papers, millions of economically and culturally
important linguistic data items are produced daily. Many of us experience information
overload when faced with an overwhelming volume of textual data. Managing and
understanding linguistic data is an urgent problem and significant economic drain on
society. The research in Linguistic Information Visualization will combine automated
language analysis, such as classifying documents by topic, with new interactive
information graphics which support engaging exploration of language data. Designed
for desktop computers and emerging technologies such as large touch screens, the
results will improve efficiency, reduce overload, and increase understanding and
application of linguistic data.
