Visualizing the Inner Lives of Texts
Abstract:
Visualization is often viewed as a way to unlock the secrets of numeric data. But what about political speeches, novels, and blogs? These texts hold at least as many surprises. On the Many Eyes site, a place for public visualization, we have seen an increasing appetite for analyzing documents. I present a series of techniques for visualizing and analyzing unstructured text. I also discuss how public events such as the presidential election last year catalyze people's passion for making sense of prose.
