1 Visualizing repetitions in texts : interactive arc diagrams Project topic for CMSC 734 Information Visualization

2 Goals A tool : –to support discussion of a (literary) question related to the text, –to give rise to new questions/hypothesis. Functionalities : –Filter, correlate, sort text-mining results, –Display features : overview and context. Use it in other contexts : legal case documents, news articles, political speeches.

3 Context Study of Gertrude Stein’s “The Making of Americans”

4 N-grams and patterns Number of occurrences: list of 3 gram items that occur 5: a description of 4: this is now + is now a 4: there will be 4: of men and + men and women 4: of each one 4: men and women 4: is now a 4: history of each + of each one 3: this is now + now a description + is now a + a description of 3: one of them history of each each one of of each one a description of … Everyone then is an individual being. Everyone then is like many others always living, there are many ways of thinking of everyone, this is now a description of all of them. There must then be a whole history of each one of them. There must then now be a description of all repeating. Now I will tell all the meaning to me in repeating, the loving there is in me for repeating. Everyone is one inside them, everyone reminds someone of some other one who is or was or will be living. Everyone has it to say of each one he is like such a one I see it in him, everyone has it to say of each one she is like someone else I can tell by remembering. So it goes on always in living, everyone is always remembering someone who is resembling to the one at whom they are then looking. So they go on repeating, everyone is themselves inside them and everyone is resembling to others, and that is always interesting. There are many ways of making kinds of men and women. In each way of making kinds of them there is a different system of finding them resembling. Sometime there will be here every way there can be of seeing kinds of men and women. Sometime there will be then a complete history of each one. Everyone always is repeating the whole of them and so sometime someone who sees them will have a complete history of everyone. Sometime someone will know all the ways there are for people to be resembling, someone sometime then will have a completed history of everyone. Soon now there will be a history of the way repeating comes out of them comes out of men and women when they are young, when they are children, they have then their own system of being resembling; this will soon be a description of the men and women in beginning, the being young in them, the being children. text2knowledge T2K (ncsa) text where patterns occur

5 Arc Diagrams http://www.turbulence.org/Works/song/mono.html Repeated patterns of notes in “Mary had a little lamb”

6 Arc Diagrams http://www.turbulence.org/Works/song/mono.html Repeated patterns of notes in “Für Elise”

7 Arc Diagrams Repeated patterns of letters in one paragraph

8 Arc Diagrams Repeated patterns of letters in one section

9 Dot Plots http://imagebeat.com/dotplot/overview.html

10 Dot Plots http://imagebeat.com/dotplot/overview.html

11 Goals of this project Adapt arc diagrams and dot plots to text Develop a demo to –import baskets of words or repetitive patterns –display interactive overview using arc diagrams : filter pattern size, select an arc Propose new visualizations Get feedback from users at MITH (Maryland Institute of Technology for the Humanities) Wattenberg, M. 2002. Arc Diagrams: Visualizing Structure in Strings. In Proceedings of the IEEE Symposium on information Visualization (infovis'02) (October 28 - 29, 2002). INFOVIS.
