Beschreibung:

Im Rahmen des Projekts sollen neue Visualisierungen und Interaktionsformen für die Analyse revisionsbasierter Textkorpora entworfen und implementiert werden.

English:

The focus of this project is designing  and developing interfaces and visualizations for analyzing data contained in revision-based text corpora. During the first stage of the project we will analyse and categorize recent approaches for visualizing textual data (http://textvis.lnu.se/). In a second stage, every student will design his/her own novel visualizations and interaction techniques for depicting and surveying textual changes and revisions at different levels of detail. These visualizations will be implemented in a new web-based prototype especially intended for providing access to revision-based text corpora such as the Webis-TRC-12 (that compiles manually written documents obtained from a completely controlled, yet representative web-like environment) and being a testbed for such kind of development.

Voraussetzungen:

Erfolgreicher Abschluss der Vorlesung Computergrafik (oder einer vergleichbaren Veranstaltung), Grundlegende Kenntnisse in C++ und OpenGL

Requirements:

Lectures in computer graphics, visualization and web search and information retrieval are an ideal prerequisite for the project.
