E-Map: A Visual Analytics Approach for Exploring Significant Event Evolutions in Social Media

Description

E-Map is a visual analytics approach that uses map-like visualization tools to help
multi-faceted analysis of social media data on a significant event. E-Map transforms
extracted keywords, messages, and reposting behaviors into map features such as cities,
towns, and rivers to build a structured and semantic space for users to explore. It also
visualizes complex posting and reposting behaviors as simple trajectories and
connections that can be easily followed.
