RESIN-EDITOR: A Schema-guided Hierarchical Event Graph Visualizer and Editor
This tool addresses the need for better visualization and editing in information extraction for event analysis, though it appears incremental as an enhancement over existing tools.
The paper tackles the problem of analyzing complex events by presenting RESIN-EDITOR, an interactive visualizer and editor that allows users to render and edit hierarchical event graphs from multimedia and multi-document news clusters, guided by human-curated schemas, with features like hierarchical visualization and source tracing.
In this paper, we present RESIN-EDITOR, an interactive event graph visualizer and editor designed for analyzing complex events. Our RESIN-EDITOR system allows users to render and freely edit hierarchical event graphs extracted from multimedia and multi-document news clusters with guidance from human-curated event schemas. RESIN-EDITOR's unique features include hierarchical graph visualization, comprehensive source tracing, and interactive user editing, which is more powerful and versatile than existing Information Extraction (IE) visualization tools. In our evaluation of RESIN-EDITOR, we demonstrate ways in which our tool is effective in understanding complex events and enhancing system performance. The source code, a video demonstration, and a live website for RESIN-EDITOR have been made publicly available.
