| contents | We present an interactive visualization system for exploring named entities and their relationships across document collections. The system is designed around a graph-based representation that integrates three types of nodes: documents, entity mentions, and entities. Connections capture two key relationship types: (i) identical entities across contexts, and (ii) co-locations of mentions within documents. Multiple coordinated views enable users to examine entity occurrences, discover clusters of related mentions, and explore higher-level entity group relationships. To support flexible and iterative exploration, the interface offers fuzzy views with approximate connections, as well as tools for interactively editing the graph by adding or removing links, entities, and mentions, as well as editing entity terms. Additional interaction features include filtering, mini-map navigation, and export options to JSON or image formats for downstream analysis and reporting. This approach contributes to human-centered exploration of entity-rich text data by combining graph visualization, interactive refinement, and adaptable perspectives on relationships. |
