Examples of information visualisations
Dear all, I am putting together a state-of-the-art report on interactive visualisations of language. I am looking for examples of applications that visualise language for purposes of sense making, awareness, insight, informing action etc. If anyone has examples to share, I would be grateful if they can contact me. Thank you! Mina ------------------------------------ Mina Vasalou Research Fellow HCI Centre, School of Computer Science University of Birmingham www.luminainteractive.com
Hi Mina, of course Wordle is the first app which crosses my mind referring to lingual visualization is it creates word clouds from text that you provide - http://www.wordle.net/ See here for example - History of England wordle http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/5175198/History_of_England Good luck, Sharon Best Wishes, Sharon Haleva Amir, School of Governance and Social Policy, Beit Berl College, HCLT Fellow, (PhD Candidate) Faculty of Law, University of Haifa, ISRAEL. -------------------------------------------------- http://www.coolcite.com/user/1694 http://weblaw.haifa.ac.il/en/research/resstudents/pages/sharonha.aspx -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Asimina Vasalou Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2012 2:56 PM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] Examples of information visualisations Dear all, I am putting together a state-of-the-art report on interactive visualisations of language.

NodeXL is designed for network visualization, but we've begun to integrate text in interesting ways. For example see: http://www.nodexlgraphgallery.org/Pages/Graph.aspx?graphID=525 In the graph, which was created by Marc Smith,users are clustered based on their network connections (not their use of words). Next, the most common words are overlaid on top of the network clusters to give a sense of what each cluster is discussing. Data for this network is pulled from everyone who said "pinkslime" on Twitter during a certain time period (see details underneath graph).

Mina/ Several years ago I was obsessed [:-)] with Information Visualization ... In the 1990's I created a site titled _The Big Picture: Visual Browsing in Web and non-Web Databases_ The Big Picture(sm): Visual Browsing in Web and non-Web Databases is a clearinghouse of projects, research, products and services that describe or apply information visualization technologies for enhancing use and access to Web and selected non-Web databases, ... . [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/BigPic.htm ] However, due to other obsessions I've not maintained it since 1999. [:-( I did write an article titled “New Age Navigation: Innovative Information Interfaces for Electronic Journal.” The Serials Librarian 45, no.2 (2003): 87-123. Self-archived at: http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/NewAge.pdf (21 April 2012).

I'm an avid user of the Open Source graphing tool called Gephi. It enables an interactive visual way to explore datasets. I've used the tool to analyze language and relationship between co-occurences of words appearing in content coming from social media. Here's an example of an analysis I published a few months ago: Hashing Out the GOP Race, decoding perceptions of party politics on Twitter Gilad On Apr 21, 2012, at 7:55 AM, Asimina Vasalou wrote:

Hi There is a good chapter on text visualization called "Survey of text visualization": Text Mining Applications and Theory by M. Berry and J. Kogen Also look at http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/ and work from Christopher Collins http://faculty.uoit.ca/collins/ Regards Aneesha On Sat, Apr 21, 2012 at 9:55 PM, Asimina Vasalou <minav@luminainteractive.com> wrote:

Hello - For sense-making of natural language text, I prefer Leximancer, a commercial tool from Australia employing statistics based algorithms and providing initial analysis in minutes. Very easy to use. Nice visualization. The company claims over 600 academic publications using the tool and appropriateness for survey analysis, market research, social media monitoring... https://www.leximancer.com/ Tom Carroll Adjunct, Georgetown University Science, Technology and Intl.
