External Cognition
• External cognition is the interaction
between internal and external
representations when performing cognitive
tasks.
• Computational offloading is the extent to
which external representations can reduce
the amount of cognitive effort to solve a
problem.

Corpus Visualization
• Beyond similarity and clustering
– How do we discern differences within and between
document collections?

• Edges = word occurring in
multiple columns
