JEUDEMO was an information retrieval program developed at the University of Montreal in the 1970s. It built on and extended the functionality of COCOA by including Boolean search functions to search for patterns within a text such as co-occurences, but saw limited adoption as it required texts to be supplied on punched cards or paper tape and was programmed in a language exclusive to the CDC Cyber 74 computer system.
Analysis
JGAAP is software designed for textual analysis, text categorization, and authorship attribution
Analysis
Jigsaw is a free visual analytics application for exploring collections of documents such as text or spreadsheets. It is aimed at analysists and researchers, particularly to "help analysts reach more timely and accurate understandings of the larger stories and important concepts embedded throughout textual results" via a collection of visualizations representing aspects such as important entities and their interconnections. The visualizations include graph, temporal and connections-based, and can be viewed on a document or corpus level.
