Schweller) Date: Mon Mar 6 20:29:22 2006 Subject: [Visinfo] Week 8 Skupin Message-ID: <20060306202912.ajrfdmq44gc4k84s@webaccess.umail.ucsb.edu> "A Cartographic Approach" Skupin Skupin discusses the improvement of map-like visualizations of information that is not geographic. He creates visualizations that resemble maps and are meant to be read as we read maps. He suggests using hierarchical clustering to group features and labeling based on scale to make the maps readable. Geometric proximity will show similarity in his Base Map. Creating a keyword index that is automated is the first step. The vector-space model shows the connection between keywords and the document. Self-organizing maps (Kohonen Maps) have the ability to show large amounts of information and is scalable and trainable so that relationships between inputs are conserved. For scale-dependant information the best choice is hierarchical clustering, such as clustering trees. What is important to keep in mind while choosing a clustering method is that the amount of graphic detail shown can be controlled. Another important think id the labeling of individual documents and document clusters. Naming a document comes from the most prevalent key word found in the document. Traditional cartographic design can use the data sets of the computation of labels and merging of base-map polygons. These concepts can be used for conference mapping and Skupin believes that they can be placed in a fully automated system that visualy show conference abstracts.
