Current visual text analysis approaches rely on sophisticated processing pipelines. Each step of such a pipeline potentially amplifies any uncertainties from the previous step. To ensure the comprehensibil- ity and interoperability of the results, it is of paramount importance to clearly communicate the uncertainty not only of the output but also within the pipeline.
