Sarah Jane Hong, Yuyi Liu, Zhao Xiao · 2016
TED Talks are short, powerful talks given by some of the world's brightest minds - scientists, philanthropists, businessmen, artists, and many others. Funded by members and advertising, these talks are free to access by the public on the TED website and TED YouTube channel, and many videos have become viral phenomena. In this research project, we perform a visual analysis of TED Talk videos and playlists to gain a good understanding of the trends and relationships between TED Talk topics.
