Automatic labels are generated from representative Wikipedia article titles using a technique similar to Lau et al. Additionally, the word list, word cloud, and network graph visualizations all lead to labels with similar "best" and "worst" votes for both the top and that the network graph helps users to better understand the topic words as a group and therefore label them using a hypernym. ./cache/work_nptfrj23brdvvauxagfvg2dske.pdf ./txt/work_nptfrj23brdvvauxagfvg2dske.txt
