“Visual Exploratory Tools for Social Networks and Storyline Generation”/ Selim Balcısoy_14.01.2015/ 19:00

Abstract:
I will present tools offering a new way of analyzing a novel or a social network in terms of storyline, characters, locations and taking consideration of relations between all of them.  One tool is focusing on a novel visualization approach that depicts both relational and statistical information of evolving social structures. It can save significant amount of time for creating editorial and narrative works such as the input data for storyline visualizations, creating infographics or reviewing a book draft.
