“…Nevertheless, it is possible to use other ways to calculate the similarity, attaining different results. We use linear RWordle algorithm [47] to remove the overlaps. The topright window presents the initial projection generated by LoCH.…”

“…Here, the state of the art is based on systems that exploit the regular, grid-structure of text layout, which does not generalize to arbitrary items. In information visualization, graph drawing [Harel and Koren 2002] and specifically word clouds [Bateman et al 2008;Strobelt et al 2012] share challenges such as collision avoidance with our approach. Placement of textual labels by example was considered by Vollick et al [2007].…”

Figure 1: Starting from a common layout (Left), the user's objective is inferred from placement of three primitives (push pins), leading to a layout organized vertically by size (Middle) and after a different placement additionally by brightness horizontally (Right). AbstractWe propose an approach to "pack" a set of two-dimensional graphical primitives into a spatial layout that follows artistic goals. We formalize this process as projecting from a high-dimensional feature space into a 2D layout. Our system does not expose the control of this projection to the user in form of sliders or similar interfaces. Instead, we infer the desired layout of all primitives from interactive placement of a small subset of example primitives. To produce a pleasant distribution of primitives with spatial extend, we propose a novel generalization of Centroidal Voronoi Tesselation which equalizes the distances between boundaries of nearby primitives. Compared to previous primitive distribution approaches our GPU implementation achieves both better fidelity and asymptotically higher speed. A user study evaluates the system's usability.

Abstract:William Shakespeare is one of the world's greatest writers. His plays have been translated into every major living language. In some languages, his plays have been re-translated many times. These translations and re-translations have evolved for about 250 years. Studying variations in translations of world cultural heritage texts is of cross-cultural interest for arts and humanities researchers. The variations between re-translations are due to numerous factors including the differing purposes of translations, genetic relations, cultural and intercultural influences, rivalry between translators, and their varying competence. A team of Digital Humanities researchers has collected an experimental corpus of fifty-five different German re-translations of Shakespeare's play, Othello. The re-translations date from between 1766 and 2010. A sub-corpus of 32 re-translations has been prepared as a digital parallel corpus. We would like to develop methods of exploring patterns in variation between different translations. In this paper, we develope an interactive focus+context visualization system to present, analyze and explore variation at the level of user-defined segments. From our visualization, we are able to obtain an overview of the relationships of similarity between parallel segments in different versions. We can uncover clusters and outliers at various scales, and a linked focus view allows us to further explore the textual details behind these findings. The domain experts who are studying this topic evaluate our visualizations and we report their feedback. Our system helps them better understand the relationships between different German re-translations of Othello and derive some insight.
