recently sequential document visualization attracted much attention superior capability depicting sequential semantic progression single document however existing methods commonly take abstractive visual forms texts numbers glyphs require much user expertise document exploration paper propose sequential visualization represent single document twodimensional picturebased storyline semantically enhances comprehension textual information introduce new parametric modeling approach called hierarchical parametric histogram curve hphc encodes statistical progression locally adaptively transforming hphc twodimensional space new localitypreserving embedding algorithm create mapping points along curve descriptive pictures generate visualization result new representation expresses primary content graphical form allows efficient multiresolution focuscontext exploration long document approach compares favorably previous work intuitive requires less user expertise informal evaluation shows useful quick document browsing communication understanding especially people low literacy skills
