1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

  • assigning each item of interest of a plurality of items of interest to one of a plurality of concentric regions in a two-dimensional space based on a location of the item of interest in the two-dimensional space determined based on one or more attributes of the item of interest, the plurality of concentric regions being centered at a location of a reference item in the two-dimensional space determined based on one or more attributes of the reference item that correspond to the one or more attributes of the item of interest;

    generating a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that represents the reference item and the plurality of items of interest in the two-dimensional space such that the GUI includes a plurality of concentric display regions that correspond to the plurality of concentric regions in the two-dimensional space, a select one of the plurality of concentric display regions provides an expanded view of one or more of the plurality of items of interest located in a corresponding one of the plurality of concentric regions in the two-dimensional space, and each remaining one of the plurality of concentric display regions provides a collapsed view of one or more of the plurality of items of interest located in a corresponding one of the plurality of concentric regions in the two-dimensional space; and
