A force-directed visualization of conversation logs
Yoshihiko Ishida, Takayuki Itoh · 2017
We1 often want to track back the conversation logs, such as meeting or group chats which users were late to participate, and timelines of social network services. It often happens to be difficult to find important remarks if the logs are very long. Micro-blogs (e.g. Twitter) is a typical example. We often miss to find important remarks if we have large number of followers. Also, it often happens that many topics are mixed in a single timeline; this situation may also make us difficult to find important remarks. This paper presents a visualization tool which briefly displays the flow of conversations. This tool provides animations of flow of topics and speakers/writers applying a force-directed visualization technique.
