Abstract

We describe a system designed to process, analyze and visualize academic data, from research papers and research proposals to list of courses taught, consulting, internal and external service. This can be helpful in identifying experts in a given field for future collaborations, as well as in putting together strong multi-disciplinary teams to apply for future research funding. Our REMatch system aims to support such tasks by leveraging natural language processing, machine learning, and interactive visualization. Specifically, REMatch provides a functional system that implements in-the-browser, map-based interactive navigation of a large underlying network, supporting semantic zooming, panning, searching, and map overlays. A prototype of the system is evaluated with a small-scale case study.
