Abstract
A system and method for arranging concept clusters in thematic neighborhood relationships in a two-dimensional visual display space is presented. A set of clusters is selected from a concept space. The concept space includes a multiplicity of clusters with concepts visualizing document content based on extracted concepts. A theme in each of a plurality of the clusters is identified. Each theme includes at least one such concept ranked within the cluster. A plurality of unique candidate spines is logically formed. Each candidate spine includes clusters commonly sharing at least one such concept. The clusters are assigned to one such candidate spine having a substantially best fit. Each such sufficiently unique best fit candidate spine is identified and placed in a visual display space. Each non-identified best fit candidate spine is placed in the visual display space relative to an anchor cluster on one such identified best fit candidate spine.
