Abstract
A set of clusters is selected from a concept space including clusters with concepts extracted to visualize document content. A theme is identified in each of the clusters. Each theme includes a concept ranked within the cluster. Unique candidate spines including clusters sharing at least one common theme are logically formed. The clusters are assigned to one such candidate spine having a substantially best fit. Each best fit candidate spine sufficiently unique from each other such best fit candidate spine is identified. The identified best fit candidate spine is placed in a visual display space. A similarity between each non-identified best fit candidate spine and each placed best fit candidate spine is evaluated. Each non-identified best fit candidate spine is placed in the visual display space relative to an anchor cluster on the placed best fit candidate spine that is sufficiently similar to the non-identified best fit candidate spine.
