- 590 abstract "When information is abundant, it becomes more and more difficult to fit nuggets of knowledge into one large coherent picture. Complex stories spaghetti into branches, side stories, dead ends, and intertwining narratives. In order to explore these stories, one needs a map to guide them through the unfamiliar territory. We propose a new model for creating structured summaries of information, which we call metro maps. Our proposed algorithm generates a concise structured set of documents which maximizes coverage of salient pieces of information. Most importantly, metro maps explicitly show the relations between the retrieved pieces in a way which captures story development. In this work, we formalize the characteristics of a good map and formulate it as an optimization problem. We then provide efficient methods with theoretical guarantees for generating maps. Finally, we integrate user interaction into our framework, allowing users to alter the maps to better reflect their interests. Pilot user studies with our web application demonstrate that our method is able to produce metro maps which help users acquire knowledge quickly on a real-world dataset.".
