Scalable Semantic Steering of Embedding Projections

Wei Liu, Eric Krokos, Kirsten Whitley, Rebecca Faust, Chris North

Low-dimensional projections support interactive visual analysis of high-dimensional data embeddings, but their structure often does not align with analyst-defined semantic relationships. Recent LLM-augmented semantic steering methods address this gap by externalizing analyst inte…

Information Terra: A Narrative-Anchored Semantic-First Projection of Document Embeddings

Brian Keith-Norambuena, Fausto German, Chris North

We introduce Information Terra, a narrative-anchored semantic-first projection that places a document corpus on an Earth-like globe whose poles are two user-chosen endpoint documents and whose prime meridian is the great-circle geodesic between them on the embedding hypersphere -…

Drag, Infer, Reproject: Grounding LLMs through Spatial Interaction for Image Clustering

Yang Liu, Xuxin Tang, Jiahao Xu, Chris North

Dimension reduction and semantic interaction support image clustering by making similarity structure visible and manipulable. Existing semantic interaction methods encode users' clustering criterion (a user-interpretable semantic dimension, e.g., action, location, or mood) from d…
