graphVisualization

This project builds and visualizes social graphs from Wikipedia pages.

Visualization

The graph visualizations use PageRank scores to determine node size and modularity-based clustering to determine node color.

Structure

• src/
  • Shared scripts for crawling and building actor, politician, and tennis player graphs
• data/actor/
  • Output data and visualization artifacts for the actor graph
• data/politician/
  • Output data and visualization artifacts for the politician graph
• data/tennisPlayer/
  • Output data and visualization artifacts for the tennis player graph

Outputs

Each dataset mainly produces the following files:

• nodes.csv
• edges.csv
• manifest.json

Example: Tennis player graph visualization

PDFs

• Actor graph PDF
• Politician graph PDF
• Tennis player graph PDF

Notes

• data/**/cache/ contains local crawl cache files and is not tracked by Git.
• data/**/outputs/ contains generated artifacts and is tracked in this repository.
