A method and a system for providing a visual representation of textual information is provided. The method includes: receiving a corpus that includes documents containing textual information; analyzing the textual information by applying a text analytics algorithm thereto; generating a visual representation of the textual information based on a result of the analysis; and displaying the visual representation on a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes mechanisms for facilitating user interaction therewith. The visual representation be any one of a hypergraph that encodes a distributional similarity between words included in the textual information, a multi-level radial layout that captures distinguishing terms included in the textual information, a clutter-free parallel coordinate plot of topic relations with respect to the textual information, a nested topology of hierarchical relations with respect to the textual information, and a tessellated plane that highlights boundary points with respect to the textual information.
