Computer-implemented system and method for analyzing clusters of coded documents

A computer-implemented method for displaying multi-dimensional clusters of documents, the method comprising:

• forming, via a clustering component, a plurality of clusters of one or more documents;
• mapping, via a cluster spine placement component, each cluster to a corresponding cluster spine from a plurality of spines, such that each spine comprises a group of clusters sharing a concept;
• displaying a heads-up display, the heads-up display comprising:
• a first compass logically framing at least a first cluster spine from the plurality of spines, the first compass including a first plurality of slots positioned circumferentially around the first compass and including at least a first cluster spine from the plurality of cluster spines.

A non-volatile computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable code thereon, the computer code, when executed by a computer processor, causing a computer to perform a method for displaying multi-dimensional clusters of documents on a two-dimensional screen, the code comprising:

• code for forming, in a three-dimensional cluster space, a plurality of clusters comprising one or more documents;
• code for mapping each cluster to a corresponding cluster spine from a plurality of spines, such that each spine comprises a group of clusters sharing a concept;
• and
• code for generating a visualization of the clusters and spines in two-dimensional space for projection onto a two-dimensional display, and for generating a heads-up display for projection onto a two-dimensional display, the heads-up display including:
• a first compass logically framing at least a first cluster spine, the first compass including a first plurality of slots positioned circumferentially around the first compass and including at least a first cluster spine from the plurality of cluster spines.
