Abstract
One or more processors receive a dataset that includes a plurality of nodes. One or more processors identify relationships between a plurality of interacting nodes within the dataset. One or more processors determine relationship strength values between a plurality of interacting node pairs within the dataset. One or more processors generate a graphical representation that represents the relationship strength values between the plurality of interacting nodes within the dataset. Interacting node pairs are connected by edges and the edges have a length that correlates with the relationship strength value between the interacting node pairs.
Claims20
A method for visualizing relationships and relationship strengths of data comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, a dataset that includes a plurality of nodes;
- identifying, by one or more processors, relationships between a plurality of interacting nodes within the dataset;
- determining, by one or more processors, relationship strength values between a plurality of interacting node pairs within the dataset;
- and
- generating, by one or more processors, a graphical representation that represents the relationship strength values between the plurality of interacting nodes within the dataset, wherein interacting node pairs are connected by edges, wherein the edges have a length that correlates with the relationship strength value between the interacting node pairs.
A computer program product for visualizing relationships and relationship strengths of data comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a dataset that includes a plurality of nodes;
- program instructions to identify relationships between a plurality of interacting nodes within the dataset;
- program instructions to determine relationship strength values between a plurality of interacting node pairs within the dataset;
- and
- program instructions to generate a graphical representation that represents the relationship strength values between the plurality of interacting nodes within the dataset, wherein interacting node pairs are connected by edges, wherein the edges have a length that correlates with the relationship strength value between the interacting node pairs.
A computer system for visualizing relationships and relationship strengths of data comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more computer readable storage medium;
- program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising:
- program instructions to receive a dataset that includes a plurality of nodes;
- program instructions to identify relationships between a plurality of interacting nodes within the dataset;
- program instructions to determine relationship strength values between a plurality of interacting node pairs within the dataset;
- and
- program instructions to generate a graphical representation that represents the relationship strength values between the plurality of interacting nodes within the dataset, wherein interacting node pairs are connected by edges, wherein the edges have a length that correlates with the relationship strength value between the interacting node pairs.
