A powerful tool for analyzing email communications

This video will demonstrate Discovery’s Communications Analysis, a powerful tool for analyzing email communications. 

Using state of the art visual and data analytics, Discovery quickly shows who communicated your search topics, and with whom. Set your concept filter to search for your target terms, and Discovery will display, graphically, the flow of communication for that subject matter. 

Each node represents a sender or recipient email address, or a collection of email addresses.  The Communication Analysis module automatically collects different alias email addresses for the same person into a node we call a “Person.”  You can also manually select and merge multiple email addresses.  All of this information is preserved across all users.

Discovery uses similar colors to indicate people, or groups of people, that are in frequent communication with each other. You may find two people of the same color never actually exchanged emails directly with one another, but were both in communication with many of the same people for your queried search topic.

Clicking on a node provides detailed analytics about that email user’s communications on your search topic. You can also click on the edge or a node, or the line between nodes, to show details for the concepts being exchanged, including top concepts included in the documentation. Discovery shows you those users who communicated your search terms, including others they most frequently sent to, or received, those communications from.

You can filter on “people” or “domain”; whether a specific email address was included in the “to” “cc” or “bcc” field; or if the communication was sent “IN or “OUT” of a particular domain. You can even specify a number of recipients to identify communications sent to small or large groups, or to just one person). 

For a quick way to see who is talking to whom about what, use the Brainspace Discovery Communications Analysis panel.

Hi, my name is Randy K. Burns. I am the owner of a computer consulting corporation that can help you with your IT support needs. 

Whether those needs are wireless, whether it’s cloud computing, disaster recovery, or any form of strategic business planning, I can help.

I have 20 years’ experience in the technology field.  Of that, approximately half is working with small businesses. The other half has been working with Fortune 500 companies all the way up to Fortune 50. 

Every week I receive phone calls from customers that cover a wide range of problems.  The most common problems are wireless access, network access and configuration, security concerns, anti-virus, firewall, and just about every other part of the network I can help you with.  Whether you want on the phone support or you prefer me on premises, I can help you quickly.

After about 12 years of working in the industry, I realized that what is missing from most technicians skill set is that they do not have the business education in order to understand how to apply technology to come up with a better business solution. Therefore, I went back to school and obtained why MBA from SMU.  That, with all of my experience, plus my certifications allows me to match technology to your business goals and your business objectives.  I can work with the C level executives and anyone else that’s on the staff.  They will learn very quickly that I can understand the problem, present it clearly and honestly, and provide a solution that is best for your business. 

On any given day, I'm sure you're busy enough that you don't need to walk your IT consultant around and explain all the people that are involved and all the different things that need to be understood to solve the issue. With me, you can give me a brief overview and I can work with anyone in the company in order to understand the problem, the people that are involved, and come up with a solution, report back and solve your problem quickly. 

My name is Randy K. Burns. 

I have the technical skills, I can understand your business, and you can count on my integrity.

I look forward to working with you.

This is an introduction to the Discovery Cluster Wheel.

Imagine you’re in a warehouse with boxes of 2 million documents. Your task is to read each document, find relevant terms and concepts included in the documents, then sort each of those documents into ten piles, each representing the most important concepts found from your initial assessment. Now take those piles and break each of them into ten piles. Continue this until you’ve identified and removed Exact Duplicates and Near Duplicates, or until the pile has less than a hundred unique and original documents.

Good news!  The Brainspace Discovery Cluster Wheeldoes this all for you, quickly and efficiently.

At the center of the Cluster Wheelis your entire document population. As you move outward, you find more and more specific clusters of documents until you’re at the outer edges.  You can select a cluster to create a filtered search for that cluster, and review the documents in Search Results.

Any search originating from the Dashboard is highlighted on the Cluster Wheel, providing a graphical sense of your search results relative to the overall document population.  If it’s fully highlighted, 100% of the documents are responding.  Greyed out clusters have no documents that match the specific search criteria. Documents that are duplicates or near duplicates are indicated with a ‘D’ or ‘ND’ watermark. 

When a document is selected, a compass needle appears which can also be selected to drop you right into the neighborhood where that document lives.  Each document exists in only one place on the wheel.

The Discovery Cluster Wheel allows you to see how your documents self-organize, so you can browse similar documents easily and quickly.

After you’ve begun your analysis in Brainspace Discovery, you will want to save your work and share it with others. This video is about Collections and Saved Searches. 

A breadcrumbs trail is visible along the top of the screen.  Breadcrumbs are added as you accumulate filter elements, and can be removed by clicking the trash can icon that displays when you hover over the entry, making it easy to drop one or more parts of a very complex search. You can clear away all search elements in the breadcrumbs trail by selecting the ‘x’ at the right side of the filter bar.

Above the breadcrumb trail, you'll find a drop-down that lists your Recent and Saved Searches.  This allows you to quickly jump back to an earlier search, or even part of a search that you were constructing.  For each recent search, you also have the ability to show the exact Lucene syntax used for that search.

A list of your Saved Searches will be found in the Recent and Saved Search dropdown list.  To save a search, select the Save Search icon at the upper-right, then provide a name for your Search criteria.  This saves the actual search query, so if you later add more documents, they will show up as results if they also respond to this search.

If you'd like to save a subset of documents resulting from your search criteria, save your document results to a Collection.  A Collection is a list of the document IDs, not the query criteria. If you later add documents to a Dataset, those documents will not automatically be added to your Collection, unless an updated Collection is saved after applying your desired filter.

Collections and Saved Searches are ways to save your work, and to share it with others.

This video will demonstrate the Dashboard feature in Brainspace Discovery 5.

From a zero-state with no human interaction, the Dashboard presents the essence of your documents.  The Data Overviewpresents a donut graph showing a summary of your dataset, including documents that are Near Duplicates of another document, documents that are Exact Duplicates of another document, Original documents that are unique, and Excluded documents that we couldn’t process, usually because they contain no text.

Discovery provides three columns of Faceted data.  The first column, by default, shows your Top Terms, the most important and relevant concept terms that Discovery has identified within your Dataset using our Brainspace technology. This Facet column highlights and dynamically updates relevant concepts, and not just common keywords found in your dataset. The Top Terms Facet is the only component that is not metadata driven. You can select from among any of your metadata fields in the other drop downs to display other desired results.

Faceted search enables users to fine-tune their search with a progressive narrowing of choices in each dimension.  Think of 20 questions.  The first question is “animal, vegetable, or mineral?”  And this faceted question allows you to quickly trim away vast chunks of irrelevant records.

Discovery gives users the utmost control over their dataset analysis. They can click on any entity within the Dashboard, and any items of interest, to update results and create complex searches without ever thinking about search.

A Timeline is provided for any metadata fields that have dates, and is especially useful for analyzing emails.  Users can select a specific date, or range of dates, zoom in and provide a sharper focus on your selection.

You’ll notice that as you execute a search, Discovery displays the updated search Document Resultsin the far right that match your query, and the various components within the Dashboard update as well to reflect the narrowed population. Each of the resulting documents can be selected for immediate viewing, or adding to a Collection. 

The Discovery Dashboard makes it easy to quickly find meaning in your vast assortment of documents!

In this video we provide an overview of Brainspace Discovery 5. 

After you login and select a dataset Discovery presents detailed analytics and insights into your data immediately, offering a valuable understanding of the documents at hand.

The Dashboard provides an immediate overview of your data, and allows you to quickly launch queries to get a more relevant understanding of your dataset. Every element on the Dashboard, including Data Overview, Timeline, and Facet Dropdowns IS information AND a click away from being a query. All elements of the Dashboard update immediately, responding to every filter you apply. The Discovery dashboard is a quick way to investigate your data, search your metadata and see the results in real time.

This Sidebar lets you navigate to every Discovery module, and return to an overview of your data at any time by clicking the Dashboard icon. 

Open the Search Drawerto access Concept Search, a user interface that provides an intersection between machine learning and human intuition. Exclusive to Brainspace Discovery, our Concept Searchis a transparent, multi-concept, intuitive way to find documents that respond to concepts and not just keywords. Plus our Sliders allow users to interact with Discovery’s Brain technology to fine-tune their analysis. Form Searchprovides Additional Filtersthat allow you, filter against emails, perform quick keyword searches, or search by domain, and also against any of your metadata with our Advanced Querycapabilities.

The Cluster Wheelis an overview of your document population, presented in a visual map that can be explored in detail, allowing you to dig deeper into more significant areas, while still being able to view the dataset population in it’s entirety.  You can even concentrate on a subset of data by generating a custom wheel for it, which we call a Focus.

Communication Analysisis a powerful tool for analyzing email documents. It quickly shows who communicated ‘what’ and to ‘whom’. Nodes represent people, and the lines between them are documents.  An overview lets you know what’s being talked about. Labels and Search Filters let you quickly organize, explore and understand.

Document Collectionskeeps track of your Collectionsand allows you to sync your collections to other applications, such as Relativity. Saved Searchresults can be used to create a Collectionor for adding to an existing Collection, collating your recent work results . Collectionscan be formed from any search result or from individual documents. All components of the Dashboard are tied to each other, so updated Search results display on the donut graph, on the Cluster Wheel, Top Faceted items on the Dashboard, and allow you to turn anything into a Collection. 

Overall, Discovery is a powerful search and analytics solution, useful for the entire lifecycle of your data.
