Visualizing CiteULike collections

By arafalov, on January 25th, 2009%

I am collecting my reading and reference material in CiteULike. I like the service because it can capture details from multiple sources. It also allows to discover what was collected by other interesting people through tags, people and bookmarks graph navigation.

Nice as CiteULike is, it is fairly difficult to get an overall picture of one’s own . . . → Read More: Visualizing CiteULike collections

Another large syntax tree visualiser

By arafalov, on July 23rd, 2007%

I found another online syntax tree visualiser that can cope with large trees – phpSyntaxTree. It requires square brackets instead of the lisp s-expression ones, but it should not be too hard to convert from one to another. There is also a Ruby version of the application from a different developer, but it refused to display . . . → Read More: Another large syntax tree visualiser

Laying out penn treebank output of Stanford parser

By arafalov, on June 16th, 2007%

I am trying to use Stanford NLP parser for my research and I need to look at the trees it produces for large, complex sentences. I have found several packages for laying out the output as trees, but they are all seem to be targeted at visualizing smaller sentences, suitable for illustrating a point in the . . . → Read More: Laying out penn treebank output of Stanford parser

By arafalov, on February 25th, 2006%

I wrote about GraphViz before, but so many new Java projects showed up, that I thought it was worth making an update.

Grand: Ant config file visualizer that even better than other options I wrote about before.
LightUML: UML generator from Java classes
Linguine Maps: Visualizer library for many types including WSDL, Ant, Hibernate and DTD
JarAnalyzer: Dependency visualization for . . . → Read More: More GraphViz goodness

My take on “problem solving skills”

By arafalov, on September 19th, 2005%

cynicalman asks what the “problem solving skills” in a job description actually mean and then tries to discover and blog the answers.

I do not actually agree that his first discovered rule is actually “a skill” (I think it is more of a test procedure), but the question asked does require a thought.

I was frequently told that . . . → Read More: My take on “problem solving skills”

Re: Open Source Applications for IT You’ve Never Heard Of

Alan Williamson is planning to present about Open Source application that most of people don’t know about.

He is also asking the community to contribute their lists. Well, I have three tools that I like enough to mention (again).

The power of GraphViz

By arafalov, on October 3rd, 2004%

Ever felt the need to extract some relations from the configuration or data and present it in a visual form nicely layed out. Ever given that up as too hard due to the hard problem of laying out the elements? If you did, then check out GraphViz.

While GraphViz by itself is not Java, it is cross-platform . . . → Read More: The power of GraphViz
