The visualization starts in demo mode, but you can intterupt at any time by clicking on a word. If you don't click on a word for 30 seconds, the visualization will return to demo mode.

This is a visualization based on the entire text of the novel A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. The words shown are the words that are used 10 times or more in the entire novel, English stopwords have been excluded. The size of the words, and the order in which they are arranged is based on the frequency of each word. The lines connect the bigrams (sequence of two words), where the orange word is the first word (for instance 'merry'), and the white words are the words that come after the first word (for instance 'christmas'). The width of the line gives an indication of how often each particular sequence of words occurs in the novel. The words position from the center is based on the total average bigram weight for that word.
