Kessler"],"abstract":"Scattertext is an open source tool for visualizing linguistic variation\nbetween document categories in a language-independent way. The tool presents a\nscatterplot, where each axis corresponds to the rank-frequency a term occurs in\na category of documents. Through a tie-breaking strategy, the tool is able to\ndisplay thousands of visible term-representing points and find space to legibly\nlabel hundreds of them. Scattertext also lends itself to a query-based\nvisualization of how the use of terms with similar embeddings differs between\ndocument categories, as well as a visualization for comparing the importance\nscores of bag-of-words features to univariate metrics.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1703.00565v3","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.00565v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"scattertext-a-browser-based-tool-for-1","repo_url":"https://github.com/JasonKessler/scattertext","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
