Other data repositories have benefited from natural language processing (NLP) and interactive visualizations (VIS) to support exploration, but little is known about how these techniques could be used with blogs to present experiences and support multimodal interaction with blogs, particularly for authors. This paper presents the effect of reorganization\u2014reorganizing the large blog set with NLP and presenting abstract topics with VIS\u2014to support novel re-visitation experiences to blogs. The BlogCloud tool, a blog re-visitation tool that reorganizes blog paragraphs around user-searched keywords, implements reorganization and similarity-based content grouping. Through a public use session with bloggers who wrote about extended hikes, we observed the effect of NLP-based reorganization in delivering novel re-visitation experiences. Findings suggest that the re-presented topics provide new reflection materials and re-visitation paths, enabling interaction with symbolic items in memory.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mti3040066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,7]],"date-time":"2019-10-07T10:05:12Z","timestamp":1570442712000},"page":"66","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Reorganize Your Blogs: Supporting Blog Re-visitation with Natural Language Processing and Visualization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Shuo","family":"Niu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Clark University, Worcester, MA 01610, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.
