ABSTRACT
We propose KGdiff, a new interactive visualization tool for social media content focusing on entities and relationships. The core component is a layout algorithm that highlights the differences between two graphs. We apply this algorithm on knowledge graphs consisting of named entities and their relations extracted from text streams over different time periods. The visualization system provides additional information such as the volume and frequency ranking of entities and allows users to select which parts of the graph to visualize interactively. On Twitter and news article collections, KGdiff allows users to compare different data subsets. Results of such comparisons often reveal topical or geographical changes in a discussion. More broadly, graph differences are useful for a wide range of relational data comparison tasks, such as comparing social interaction graphs, identifying changes in user behavior, or discovering differences in graphs from distinct sources, geography, or political stance.

Visualizing Social Media Sentiment in Disaster Scenarios
WWW '15 Companion: Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on World Wide WebRecently, social media, such as Twitter, has been successfully used as a proxy to gauge the impacts of disasters in real time. However, most previous analyses of social media during disaster response focus on the magnitude and location of social media ...
Visualizing Visualizations: User Interfaces for Managing and Exploring Scientific Visualization Data
The process of scientific visualization is inherently iterative. A good visualization comes from experimenting with visualization, rendering, and viewing parameters to bring out the most relevant information in the data. A good data visualization system ...
