MSc Computer Science - Final project 2018
Abstract
The project is quite literally a journey from Hell to Heaven, investigating the computational opportunities of automating text analysis and producing data visualisations. From the structure of the writing to the sentiment of Dante Alighieri’s most famous work, the Divine Comedy, this project looks for rules to build components and create an application that offer insights and produces outputs in a format other than text.
How it works (for the time being)
All visualisations are generated on the fly with Javascript accessing JSON files that are the product of the server side process.
The interaction is limited to finding out what the element of the visualisations are.
How it will work (plans for the future)
Users will be able to select (or even upload) a body of text, fill in the form (see example below) to indicate the text characteristics and hit 'Apply'.
The form submission will trigger the server side process (now accessible with Jupiter), run the program, receive the output (JSON files) and see them visualised under the 'Visualisations' sections.
