Data used?
- for case Study
- Amazon reviews ( 5 diffrent products )
- Documents, sentences / phrase

Problems
- no good overview visualization

- create new search indices (lucene)
Visualization Approach
Overall Visuall design
- visualize global and local patterns
- integrate search into visualisation (visual query)
- simply visualize multifacet relationships
Visualization Technique
- Density Map + Multifacet Graph
- visual encoding of data model
- visually simplify data exploration (edge bundling / highlighting)
- interactions to examine data from diffrent perspectives
Time Density Plots
Feature-Based Visual Sentiment Analysis of Text Document Streams
Data Used?
- Two diffrent Types of Data
- missing limited topic coverage
- Web Surveys (50,000 Surveys)
- all possible complaints ( purchase, delivery, product )
- comment on features in detailed way
- Cutomer Web survey
- Rss News Items (16,000 items)
- real-time distribution, repostings
- no specific feature to indentify
- explore spread of Opinion and reasons
- 50 Presidential Election feeds
- Web Surveys (50,000 Surveys)
Analysis Technique
- no domain-dependant sentiment word list
- rely on very general sentiment words
- Linguistic Preprocessing
- Feature Extraction
- Sentiment Word Detection
- Sentiment-to-Feature Mapping (Hybrid approach)
- manually defined syntactic reference patterns
- paired with typed-dependency parsers
- modified distance-based mapping
- awareness of uncertainty (not precise vs. guide user)
Visualization Technique
-
Pixel Map Calendars - ( scatterplot )
- display overall data distribution
- one pixel represents one document
- pixel ploted in bins - color encodes overall sentiment
- axes of bin can have different time unit
- Time Density Plots
- Sequential Sentiment Track - ( rectangular bars )
- preserve temporal order
- whitespace reduction - no overplotting
- certainty encode in bar height
- Time Density Track - ( Area Graph )
- height of curved determinated by distance of two time stamps
- high curves indicates max. Level of Interesst
- Sequential Sentiment Track - ( rectangular bars )
Lexichron
Visual Analysis of Conflicting Opinions
Data Used?
- Amazon Customer Reviews (3.168 Reviews)
- Only 4-5 stars ond 1-2 stars ratings
- about size of Scientific Abstract
- Diffuse Opinions in diffrent Reviews
- based on Da Vinci Code book review
Analysis Technique
- Linguistic Variation (TermWatch, Term Variation graph)
- TermWatch - Clustering (CPCL implemented with SLME)
- Predictive Text Analysis (Decision Trees - SVM )
Visualization Technique
-
Term Variation Graph
- display cluster overview & detail
- time series data ploted in graph
- unfolded View of one cluster (pink Background)
- Time series Data ploted in Graph
- timestamps ploted on edge (year-month)
- Positive Term alongside Negative Terms
- monthwise separation
-
Coordinated View - ( multiple Visualizations, Improvise )
-
Lexichron - Arc Diagram
- top half positive reviews - bottom half negative review
- arcs connect months with common Terms
- arc thickness encodes # of common Terms
- Bar thickness encodes # of Term per Month
- Graph View
- multicolumn Tables
-
Lexichron - Arc Diagram
