  7. Flickr – Network Analysis

  8. US Senate Voting Include only links that reflect more than 65% between two senators. NodeXL – Open source project. Extension of Excel for network visualization. http://nodexl.codeplex.com/

  9. US Senate Voting Include party affiliation: Red for Republicants, Blue Democrats, 2 other parties. NodeXL – Open source project. Extension of Excel for network visualization. http://nodexl.codeplex.com/

  10. E-mail Communication – Organization Units Email from TechABC High-traffic connections between organizational units > 50 messages per FTE. Color is mapped to Betweenness Centrality Green = bridge spanners. Excluded nodes with low Closeness Centrality Nodes within large connected components are shown.

  11. The same data set in different layouts: • Fruchteman-Reingo • Grid • Spiral. 1 2 3

  12. Fundamental issues Understanding of the tools that are applied Understanding of the applied analysis Understanding the relationship between the analysis and the layout algorithm used in visualization. • Visualization using Harel-Koren layout algorithm. • Sierpinski triangle is a fractal named after Waclaw Sierpinski who described it in 1915. • It is an example of self-similar sets, a mathematically generated pattern that is replicated at every level of reduction or magnification.

  13. Large networks challenge human intuition and our technical ability to analyze and visualize data. Models learnt from data may not be in a representation that is suitable for human interpretation and modification. Computing specialist and domain experts need to work together to develop technologies, tools, and practices.

  14. shaping the future REFLECTIONS

  15. Designing Social Platforms and Measuring Social Engagement • Seemingly small decisions make huge differences in shaping the community • We need to develop tools, methods, and metrics to help us assess the state of the community • We need to understand and shape human values and devise incentives to encourage desired behaviour.
