| Competing Idea Diffusion Agent Based Model (CID-ABM) 1.0 | (Software) |
| This software allows a researcher to investigate the propagation of competing [information] ideas through a [social] network with controls for who starts with the idea [seeds], leadership, adoption time (Solomon, 2000), and dynamic idea adoption [floating decisions]. JUNG (Java Universal Network/Graph Framework) is used for graphical output during simulation. Data outputs include time stamped calculations, adoptions and saturation percentages. |
| Elbirt Technologies Visualizer (ET-V) 1.0 (2010) | (Software) |
Multidimensional Data Animation, Visualization and Intonation Application for Creating Virtual Reality Displays
ET-V (formally Jacob's Ladder) is software for the visualization, intonation and animation of multidimensional data in a multi-dimensional space. ET-V is targeted toward any research involving the use of multidimensional data. The software provides individuals with the ability to animate and/or overlay real-time multidimensional data of any type or size in an OpenGL space with maximum variability in dimensional representations including, but not limited to, object size, spin, type, position, color, audio note, velocity, channel and instrument (MIDI). Examples are provided covering US Senate Co-sponsorship of Bills (Fowler, 2009) and Canadian migration patterns (Barnett & Sung, 2003).
Important Changes from Previous Versions
Updated to JOGL 2.1
GUI Rebuilt for modern look / feel.
I/O Rebuilt for faster display with less memory/cpu.
Spin functionality.
Ego Cluster Display Options.
XLS and XLSX input files (no more NetXML needed). |
| Matrix to Coordinates 4.0 (2010) | (Software) |
This application will convert relation (matrix) data into Reimann coordinate spaces for use with the ET-V Visualization software (and any other software that can use coordinates). The software utilizes MDSJ (Algorithmics Group, 2009, Brandes and Pich, 2007) for coordinates, JUNG (Madadhain, 2005) for Centrality Calculations and includes a custom Procrustes rotation algorithm for longitudinal study. Unlike other algorithms, this one can rotate uneven spaces; those spaces with some shared concepts but also containing unshared concepts.
The resulting coordinates work such that the closer two objects are the more structurally similar they are. Thus, structurally equivalent objects will overlap.
Although the program will handle any size data your system memory will allow; the calculation time will vary based on the depth of dimensionality chosen and additional calculation / output options. |

St. Pete Beach | | Abstract : Elbirt Technologies Software Suite - The Next Generation in Data Visualization and Analysis using Network Analysis Methodology |
| PDF File : http://www.elbirttechnologies.com/pubs/sbXXXIposter.pdf |
This poster presentation will provide an overview of the latest software to be released by Benjamin Elbirt. The software demonstrations include ET-V 1.0, USNAA 1.0 and M2C 4.0.
ET-V 1.0 is the latest visualization, animation and intonation application that replaces the Jacob's Ladder (Elbirt, 2005 & 2009a & 2009b) software line. The software has been completely rebuilt with the latest JOGL (2.1), updated to use XLS and XLSX files (Microsoft Excel) and includes many new features that improve the overall display and performance.
M2C 4.0 is the latest Matrix to Coordinates conversion program that uses the latest MDSJ (Brandes & Pich, 2007) and a customized Procrustes rotation algorithm for longitudinal analysis. Inputs include pairs or matrix, text delimited or XLS/XLSX files. Outputs are in XLSX files and include various calculations and formats including ET-V.
USNAA 1.0 is a co-occurrence semantic text analysis application that uses network measures to create token (word) clusters (Elbirt, 2010) for improved semantic network outputs. The software will also calculate various measures of centrality, generate rotated coordinates (M2C functionality) and output ET-V content files for easy use in ET-V.
All software will be presented on a laptop with a poster for overview definition. Examples will be shown using data generated from 2001 through 2010 Sunbelt abstracts. |
| Abstract : Social Network Measures as Semantic Text Analysis Indicators for Compound Tokens |
| PDF File : http://www.elbirttechnologies.com/pubs/sbXXXIusnaaPaper.pdf |
This presentation describes methodology for using degree centrality to join tokens (words) into clusters that better represent the data during a co-occurrence semantic network analysis. The method uses both binary and strength based degree centrality to identify outlier tokens. These tokens are then combined with related tokens to form new token-clusters. Results indicate a reduction in deviations, outliers and token volatility which in turn creates a better analysis.
The presentation will start by introducing the data set and general methodology for semantic analysis. This is followed by a presentation of the new methods for token clustering. Next, the final token list with and without the new methodology added are provided with 3D OpenGL visualizations. Finally, discussion is presented regarding the results and their implication on future semantic analysis. |
