Hypergraph Modeling and Visualisation of Complex Co-occurence Networks (1809.00164v1)

Abstract: Finding inherent or processed links within a dataset allows to discover potential knowledge. The main contribution of this article is to define a global framework that enables optimal knowledge discovery by visually rendering co-occurences (i.e. groups of linked data instances attached to a metadata reference) - either inherently present or processed - from a dataset as facets. Hypergraphs are well suited for modeling co-occurences since they support multi-adicity whereas graphs only support pairwise relationships. This article introduces an efficient navigation between different facets of an information space based on hypergraph modelisation and visualisation.
