###Discover related documents
<h3>Discover related documents</h3>


HistoGraph treats multimedia collections as networks. The underlying assumption is simple: if two people are mentioned together in a document, we assume that they may have something to do with each other. Whether or not such a relationship is interesting is in the eye of the beholder. Co-occurrence networks become huge and unwieldy very quickly, which forces us to filter them based on another simple assumption: the more often entities co-occur, the more likely it is that they have a meaningful relationship with each other. We combine these two assumptions with mathematical models (co-occurrence frequencies weighted by tf-idf specificity and Jaccard distances) which allow us to rank the list of co-occurrences. This tells us who appears with whom and in which documents.

###Reveal relations between people
<h3>Reveal relations between people</h3>

What connects a group of people? HistoGraph reveals a list and an interactive graph which retrieves all documents featuring a group of people and reveals co-occurrences among them.


###Keep track of relevant documents
<h3>Keep track of relevant documents</h3>

Users can keep track of documents they find useful by adding them to their favourites. HistoGraph displays this list of favourite documents both as a list and as a graph which reveals the relationships among them.
