Word clouds are a popular text visualization technique that summarize an input text by displaying its most important words in a compact image. The traditional layout methods do not take proximity effects between words into account; this has been improved in semantic word clouds, where relative word placement is controlled by edges in a word similarity graph. We introduce MySemCloud, a new human-in-the-loop tool to visualize and edit semantic word clouds. MySemCloud lets users perform computer-assisted local moves of words, which improve or at least retain the semantic quality. To achieve this, we construct a word similarity graph on which a system of forces is applied to generate a compact initial layout with good semantic quality. The force system also allows us to maintain these attributes after each user interaction, as well as preserve the user’s mental map. The tool provides algorithmic support for the editing operations to help the user enhance the semantic quality of the visualization, while adjusting it to their personal preference. We show that MySemCloud provides high user satisfaction as well as permits users to create layouts of higher quality than state-of-the-art semantic word cloud generation tools.
Hive plots are a graph visualization style placing vertices on a set of radial axes emanating from a common center and drawing edges as smooth curves connecting their respective endpoints. In previous work on hive plo...

In 2011, Harrigan and Healy published a polynomial-time algorithm for one-sided crossing minimization for trees [2]. We point out a counterexample to that algorithm, and show that one-sided crossing minimization is NP...

In this work, we study the k-median clustering problem with an additional equal-size constraint on the clusters, from the perspective of parameterized preprocessing. Our main result is the first lossy (2-approximate) ...

In the constrained planarity setting, we ask whether a graph admits a planar drawing that additionally satisfies a given set of constraints. These constraints are often derived from very natural problems;prominent exa...
