Abstract

A method, computer program product and computer system to generate a spatial visualization of topics contained in messages data is provided. A processor retrieves message data associated with a user. A processor determines one or more topics represented by the message data. A processor generates a spatial visualization of one or more user interface elements, where the spatial visualization includes a size and a location for the one or more user interface elements. A processor displays one or more user interface elements corresponding to the one or more topics.

Claims (16)

1. A method comprising:

retrieving, by one or more processors, message data associated with a user;

determining, by the one or more processors, one or more topics represented by the message data;

determining, by the one or more processors, one or more relevance scores corresponding to the user regarding the one or more topics;

displaying, by the one or more processors, a temporal visualization of the message data;

identifying, by the one or more processors, touch input gesture to initiate display of a spatial visualization of one or more user interface elements corresponding to the one or more topics;

identifying, by the one or more processors, a location of the touch input gesture;

generating, by the one or more processors, the spatial visualization including a respective size and a respective location for the one or more user interface elements, wherein (i) the one or more user interface elements are rendered at one or more distances from the location of the touch input gesture and (ii) the one or more distances from the location of the touch input gesture being proportional to the relevance scores of the one or more user interface elements; and

responsive to identifying the touch input gesture to initiate display of the spatial visualization, displaying, by the one or more processors, the spatial visualization of the one or more user interface elements corresponding to the one or more topics, wherein the spatial visualization is not displayed prior to identifying the touch input gesture.

2. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:

identifying, by the one or more processors, a user interaction with a topic of the one or more displayed topics; and

displaying, by the one or more processors, one or more messages of the message data corresponding to the topic.

3. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:

identifying, by the one or more processors, a user interaction with a topic of the one or more displayed topics; and

removing, by the one or more processors, one or more messages of the message data corresponding to the topic.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the one or more relevance scores corresponding to the user is based, at least in part, on one or more of the following: (i) one or more preferences of the user; (ii) a participation level of the one or more topics; and (iii) a collaboration score between the user and participants of the one or more topics.
