IN-SPIRE™ Visual Document Analysis

IN-SPIRE™ is a visual analytics system developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for text analysis. The powerful software enables users to discover unknown themes, events, and trends within textual information as well as search for known items of interest. By harnessing IN-SPIRE, users can view visual representations of information from existing and incoming datasets by rapidly exploring associations among individual terms, broader topics, or defined groups. The software includes features for analyzing text from a variety of data sources, including technical and patent literature, marketing and business documents, web data, accident and safety reports, newswire feeds, and email messages.
