The Exploratory Labeling Assistant - Mixed-Initiative Label Curation with Large Document Collections

Explore a 21-minute conference talk from the ACM User Interface Software and Technology Symposium that introduces the concept of exploratory labeling for large document collections. Discover how computational and interactive methods can assist analysts in categorizing documents into unknown and evolving labels. Learn about a proposed interactive visual data analysis method that combines human-driven label ideation with machine-driven recommendations. Understand the process of progressive label discovery, ideation, and refinement using unsupervised machine learning techniques. Examine the evaluation of this method through a real-world labeling problem and controlled user studies, gaining insights into emerging interaction patterns in exploratory labeling activities.
