Demo02: Networks and visualizations (Silva)

Overview

Teaching: 30 min
Exercises: 0 min
Questions
  • How can you build networks from query results and visualize them

Objectives
  • Demonstrate word cloud visualizations.

  • Demonstrate network visualizations.

  • Explain how you can reproduce the result using public tools, with your own data

  • Demonstrate advanced intreactive visualizations

Getting Started

Notebooks

Notebooks and source code will be automatically downloaded to your personal Jupyter Notebook. They can also be found at the GitHub repository.

The first notebook illustrates network and word cloud visualizations.

Notebook:  AlphaDemoCode/Demo 02/Part1.ipynb

The second notebook Demonstrates more advanced intreactive visualizations.

Notebook:  AlphaDemoCode/Demo 02/Part2.ipynb

CADRE packages and tools

All packages, tools and archives can be accessed from the CADRE Marketplace. https://cadre.iu.edu/gateway/rac

The following package will reproduce the network and word cloud visualizations using prepared data.

Package:  demo02-public-all-default

Use the following public tool to create new packages for your own query results.

Tool:  demo02-public

Current limitations

  • Only Microsoft Academic Graph data is compatible with this demo
  • Refine your query size for better visulization results (only papers after 2017 will be included for size control)
  • Public sharing of user tools, archives and packages will be enabled later
  • Advanced visualizations in Notebook Part2.ipynb currently cannot be containerized into CADRE packages or tools

Key Points

  • Visualize prepared data query data in notebook

  • Visualize your query data without coding

  • Refine your query for better visualizations
