Abstract
ThemeRiverTM is a prototype system that visualizes
thematic variations over time within a large collection of documents.
The “river” flows from left to right through time, changing
width to depict changes in thematic strength of temporally associated
documents. Colored “currents” flowing within the river
narrow or widen to indicate decreases or increases in the strength of an
individual topic or a group of topics in the associated documents. The
river is shown within the context of a timeline and a corresponding
textual presentation of external events
