When you view a mine, the Mines View displays the Cluster List, Mine Map, Concept pane, and Confidence pane. The Concept pane menu includes options for viewing the Density and Favors panes. The following figure shows an example of a mine.
Use the following procedure to open a mine.
1.On the Case Home page, under Analysis, click Mines.
The following columns appear on the Mines page.
Column |
Description |
Status |
Indicates the status of the mine. Hover over the icon to view information about the status. |
Name |
The name of the mine. |
Documents |
The number of documents in the mine. |
Clusters |
The number of clusters in the mine. |
Criteria |
The binder that was used to create the mine. |
Creator |
The person who created the mine. |
Families |
Indicates whether the mine was created using document families. |
Autorouting |
Indicates whether a mine has been routed to a review phase. |
2.To open a mine, click the name of a mine that has a Ready status.
The Cluster List displays the clusters and related concepts in a mine, and the number of documents in each cluster. The top three concepts within each cluster, based on the significance of the concepts to the mine, appear in the Name column.
When you click a set of concepts in the Name column, the cluster is selected in the Mine Map, and all of the concepts in the cluster appear in the Concept pane. Information about confidence levels for the cluster appears in the Confidence pane.
To clear the selection on a cluster, click in the Mine Map outside of a cluster.
When you click a concept in the Concept pane, the Concept and Density columns appear in the Cluster List, as shown in the following figure.
The Concept column lists the total number of concepts in that cluster.
The Density column indicates the percentage of documents with the concept selected in the Concept pane in relation to the number of documents in the cluster. To view the density percentage, hover over the Density bar.
The Mine Map is a visual representation of the clusters that appear in the Cluster List. The Mine Map displays links between related clusters that have concepts in common.
When you first view a mine, all of the concepts in the mine appear in the Concept pane. If no cluster is selected, the Concept pane and Confidence pane display information for the entire mine.
When you click a cluster in the Mine Map, the concepts for that cluster appear in the Concept pane. Information about confidence levels for the cluster appears in the Confidence pane. You can select one cluster at a time in the Mine Map.
The following elements appear in the Mine Map pane:
●Density bar: When you click a concept in the Concept pane, the concept density for that concept appears at the top of the Mine Map. A shaded bar indicates the density of that concept in the selected cluster. Density is the percentage of documents with that concept in relation to the number of documents in the cluster. The darker the color of the selected cluster in the Mine Map, the denser the concept in that cluster. This helps you determine which clusters to review next.
●Clusters: Groups of related concepts. The following information applies to clusters:
oA selected cluster is highlighted.
oYou can drag the position of clusters to more easily view the relationships between clusters.
oThe larger a cluster circle, the more documents the cluster contains.
oThe darker a cluster circle, the greater the concept density.
oThicker, darker lines between clusters indicate stronger relationships between clusters.
oClusters with no links do not share concepts.
●Miscellaneous: This box contains documents that are too dissimilar to be clustered in the mine.
●Zero Concepts: This box contains documents that have no concepts.
●Slider bar: The bar at the bottom of the Mine Map indicates the strength of the relationship between clusters, as a percentage. A higher percentage indicates a stronger relationship.
The following table describes the tasks that you can accomplish in the Mine Map.
To do the following... |
Do this... |
View the top three concepts for a cluster and the number of documents in the cluster |
Hover over the cluster. |
Display stronger relationships (fewer lines) in the mine |
Move the slider bar to the right, towards a higher percentage. |
Display weaker relationships (more lines) in the mine |
Move the slider bar to the left, towards a lower percentage. |
Clear the selection on a cluster |
Click in the Mine Map outside of a cluster. |
The Concept pane lists the top concepts in a mine or a selected cluster, in order of importance, along with the density of the concept and the total number of times the concept appears in the mine or cluster.
When you first view a mine, all of the concepts in the mine appear in the Concept pane. To view the concepts for a specific cluster in the Concept pane, click a cluster in the Cluster List or the Mine Map.
To select a view option, click the Concept pane menu. The following view options are available:
●Concepts: Displays the most significant concepts in the mine or selected cluster. This is the default view.
●Density: Displays the most significant concepts in the mine or selected cluster (up to 500), and indicates how often the concept is included in the mine, as a percentage. The most frequent concepts appear at the top of the list. The bigger the Density bar, the more often the concept occurs. To view the density percentage, hover over the Density bar. The Count indicates the number of times a concept appears in all clusters.
●Favors: Displays all concepts in the mine or selected cluster. This pane shows the concepts that appear more in some clusters than in other clusters, and indicates the distribution of concepts in a cluster. Hover over the Favors bar to view the percentage. Concepts can "favor" clusters in the following ways:
oFavors Me: This concept is more prevalent in the current cluster than in the rest of the mine. This concept "favors" the selected cluster.
oFavors the Rest: This concept is more prevalent in other clusters than in the current cluster. This concept "favors" other clusters.
The following table describes the tasks that you can accomplish in the Concept pane.
To do the following... |
Do this... |
View concepts for a selected cluster |
In the Mine Map, click the cluster. Or, in the Cluster List, click the cluster in the Name column. |
View concepts for the entire mine |
Click in the Mine Map outside of a cluster to clear the selection. |
View the concept density for a concept |
In the Concept pane, in the Name column, click a concept. |
View density information |
In the Concept pane, in the Concept list, click Density. |
View favors information |
In the Concept pane, in the Concept list, click Favors. |
The Confidence pane indicates how strongly the documents in a mine or cluster are related. The higher the Confidence percentage, the more strongly the documents are related. Because confidence indicates the degree to which documents should be included in a cluster, this information is useful for determining the “tightness” of documents in a cluster.
The Count column indicates the number of documents for each Confidence percentage.
The Density column indicates the proportion of documents in each Confidence percent range. To view the density percentage, hover over the Density bar.
You can search for and view documents based on the clusters or concepts in a mine.
Use the following procedure to view documents in a mine.
1.To open a mine, on the Case Home page, under Analysis, click Mines.
2.Click the name of a mine.
3.To select the documents to view, select from the following:
oIn the Cluster List, in the Total column, click a number.
oIn the Concept pane, select from the following:
□In the Concept list, click Concepts. In the Total column, click a number.
□In the Concept list, click Density. In the Count column, click a number.
oIn the Confidence pane, in the Count column, click a number.
You can select multiple document counts in a single pane.
Tip: To clear a selected number, click the number again.
4.To search for the selected documents, click the arrow next to Open Documents, and then select whether you want to view threaded documents, source and attachment documents, renditions, and line numbers in the results. For more information about how to configure search results, see Set search preferences.
5.Click OK.
The documents open on the Documents page.
