A map display is proposed as a graphical representation of a document space. A neural network's self-organizing learning algorithm, Kohonen's feature map, is used to construct the map display. The map displays generated by the algorithm are found to show reasonable pictures of the underlying data: their major concepts, their semantic relationships, and their clusters, groups, and distributions. Such map displays can be used as a graphical interface for a retrieval system, in which users can pose broad queries and then browse for relevant documents in the high recall/low precision results. |
