Visualization of large answers in text databases

Current user interfaces of full text retrieval systems do not help in the process of filtering the result of a query, usually very large. We address this problem and we propose a visual interface to handle the result of a query, based on a hybrid model for text. This graphical user interface provides several visual representations of the answer and its elements (queries, documents, and text), easing the analysis and the filtering process.
