WINS: Web Interface for Network Science via Natural Language Distributed Representations

Abstract

This work proposes a novel approach to visually interact with semantic networks constructed via natural language processing techniques. The proposed web interface, WINS, allows the user to select a textual document to be analyzed, choose the algorithm to construct the semantic network, and visualize the network with its metrics. Unlike previous works, which are typically based on co-occurrence matrix for constructing the text network, the proposed interface embeds an additional approach based on the combination of network science with distributed representations of words and phrases.
