Mining Networks through Visual Analytics: Incremental Hypothesis Building and Validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interactive visualization supports the analytical process: interacting with abstract views, using the data as a malleable material, analysts build hypothesis that can be further validated on the whole dataset. We use graph clustering in order to group elements and show them as meta-nodes and reduce the number of visual items, further organizing data over into several layers, in an effort to provide a multilevel model of the studied phenomenon. In doing so, hierarchical clustering not only contributes to the study of data but also brings in ingredients for interaction, enabling the user to zoom in and out of clusters while exploring the data in quest for evidence.

Online news sources produce thousands of news articles every day, reporting on local and global real-world events. New information quickly replaces the old, making it difficult for readers to put current events in the context of the past. The stories about these events have complex relationships and characteristics that are difficult to model: they can be weakly or strongly related or they can ...

متن کاملSocial Networks Data Mining Using Visual Analytics
Internet-based social networks are facilities (typically web sites) where people can form online communities, connect to each other and share information. This paper explores the area of applying visual analytics to represent data and underlying relationships in social networks – more specifically, on the Twitter micro-blogging service. Networks of this kind can be treated as graphs, where each...
