QuantPlorer: Exploration of Quantities in Text

Quantities play an important role in documents of various domains such as finance, business, and medicine. Despite the role of quantities, only a limited number of works focus on their extraction from text and even less on creating respective user-friendly document exploration frameworks. In this work, we introduce QuantPlorer, an online quantity extractor and explorer. Through an intuitive web interface, QuantExplorer extracts quantities from unstructured text, enables users to interactively investigate and visualize quantities in text, and it supports filtering based on diverse features, i.e., value ranges, units, trends, and concepts. Furthermore, users can explore and visualize distributions of values for specific units and concepts. Our demonstration is available at  https://quantplorer.ifi.uni-heidelberg.de/ .
