BRAINMAP

BRAINMAP is a prototype of a navigation support system used to explore graphs of document correlations, based on concepts from weighted complex networks, learned from their unstructured textual content.

Today´s overwhelming amount of information available inside companies and corporations can make searching and browsing very hard jobs, when one needs to find information related to specific topics within huge document collections. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to develop tools to make easier the retrieval of specific information and to support the exploration by users of corporate intranets (composed of several hundreds of gigabytes of documents).

This work was done in cooperation with Rita Almeida Ribeiro and Ricardo Raminhos
