An Interactive Analysis of Tolkien’s Works by Emil Johansson.
Description:
Being passionate about both Tolkien and data visualization creating an interactive analysis of Tolkien’s books seemed like a wonderful idea. To the left you will be able to explore character mentions and keyword frequency as well as sentiment analysis of the Silmarillion, the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. Information on editions of the books and methods used can be found in the about section.
There you will find:
WORD COUNT AND DENSITY
CHARACTER MENTIONS
KEYWORD FREQUENCY
COMMON WORDS
SENTIMENT ANALYSIS
CHARACTER CO-OCCURENCE
CHAPTER LENGTHS
WORD APPEARANCE
POSTERS
Truly remarkable analysis and visualization!
I suspect users of this portal don’t wonder so much about “how” is it done, but concentrate on the benefits it brings.
Does that sound like a marketing idea for topic maps?
I first saw this in the DashingD3js.com Weekly Newsletter.
