This document summarizes two interfaces presented as part of a VAST challenge solution: a News Analyzer and Email Analyzer. The News Analyzer allows exploration of news articles to identify events using search, entity recognition, and visualization tools. The Email Analyzer visualizes email networks through a co-occurrence matrix, radial graph, and word cloud to examine relationships. Both interfaces were designed specifically for the challenge and utilize techniques like search engines, named entity recognition, spectral co-clustering, and D3 visualization.
