Systems and Methods for Data Analysis

摘要

Described herein are methods and systems for hierarchically mapping, ranking, and labeling data sets automatically. Also provided are methods for browsing and navigating a hierarchically mapped data set, and START identifying changes in network structure over time. An example method may involve receiving document data indicating a corpus of documents and references between documents within the corpus. Based on the document data, a network comprising two or more nodes and at least one directed edge may be determined. Also, a hierarchical partition of the documents may be determined based on the directed edges of the network. The hierarchical partition may define a plurality of nested modules, and each module in the plurality of nested modules may be associated with one or more respective documents within the corpus. The method may additionally include causing a graphical display to provide a visual indication of one or more of the plurality of nested modules.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving document data indicating (i) a corpus of documents and (ii) references between documents within the corpus of documents; determining a network comprising (i) two or more nodes, wherein each node corresponds to a respective document in the corpus of documents, and (ii) at least one directed edge, wherein each directed edge connects two respective nodes, and wherein each directed edge corresponds to a reference between two documents in the corpus of documents; based on the directed edges of the network, determining a hierarchical partition of the documents, wherein the hierarchical partition defines a plurality of nested modules, and wherein each module in the plurality of nested modules is associated with one or more respective documents within the corpus of documents; and causing a graphical display to provide a visual indication of one or more of the plurality of nested modules.
