Visualizing Text Data Hierarchy with Word Trees

January 19th, 2023 by Julien Blanchard, Meta

Visualizing Text Data Hierarchy with Word TreesOver the past few weeks, I have been looking for a quick and effective way of representing the structural differences within a set of similar-looking short sentences.

To provide a bit of context, as we approached the end of 2022, my workmates and I got heavily involved in a planning phase for the new year to start. More specifically, we were asked to write a set of objectives and key results that would help drive a common strategy across our supported programs and pillars over the months to come.

And as expected, each and every one of us ended up leaving comments for every subtle change made to the couple of sentences that had initially been dropped into a shared document. As the comments started piling up, it quickly became quite tedious to follow and understand the slight modifications that were being made to our original set of objectives and key results.

As I started exploring what we could have done to better capture and visualise these changes, I recently found a way to display text data in a hierarchical way that I thought would be worth sharing.

Building Column Charts with JavaScript

December 29th, 2022 by Shachee Swadia

Building Column Charts with JavaScriptWith data everywhere around, we should know how to graphically represent it to better (and faster) understand what it tells us. One of the most common data visualization techniques is column charts, and I want to show you how you can easily create interactive ones using JavaScript.

A column chart is a simple, yet powerful way to display data when you need to compare values. From this tutorial, you will learn to make its different variations — basic single-series, multi-series, stacked, and 100% stacked column graphs — and apply effective customizations in a few more lines of JS code.

As a cricket fan, I thoroughly watched the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup held last month in Australia. I decided to use some data related to the championship for illustrative visualizations. JavaScript column charts built throughout this tutorial will let us look into the batting statistics, and more precisely, the number of runs scored by the top 10 batsmen at the tournament. Let’s have fun learning!
