  abstract  = {With the proliferation of Web-based social media, asynchronous conversations
	have become very common for supporting online communication and collaboration.
	Yet the increasing volume and complexity of conversational data often make
	it very difficult to get insights about the discussions. We consider combining
	textual summary with visual representation of conversational data as a
	promising way of supporting the user in exploring conversations. In this paper,
	we report our current work on developing visual interfaces that
	present multimedia summary combining text and visualization for online
	conversations and how our solutions have been tailored for a variety of domain
	problems. We then discuss the key challenges and opportunities for future work
	in this research space.},
