This paper suggests a method for refining a massive amount of collective intelligence data and visualizing it with a multilevel sentiment network in order to understand the relevant information in an intuitive and semantic way. This semantic interpretation method minimizes network learning in the system as a fixed network topology only exists as a guideline to help users understand. Furthermore, it does not need to discover every single node to understand the characteristics of each clustering within the network. After extracting and analyzing the sentiment words from the movie review data, we designed a movie network based on the similarities between the words. The network formed in this way will appear as a multilevel sentiment network visualization after the following three steps: (1) design a heatmap visualization to effectively discover the main emotions on each movie review; (2) create a two-dimensional multidimensional scaling (MDS) map of semantic word data to facilitate semantic understanding of network and then fix the movie network topology on the map; (3) create an asterism graphic with emotions to allow users to easily interpret node groups with similar sentiment words. The research also presents a virtual scenario about how our network visualization can be used as a movie recommendation system. We next evaluated our progress to determine whether it would improve user cognition for multilevel analysis experience compared to the existing network system. Results showed that our method provided improved user experience in terms of cognition. Thus, it is appropriate as an alternative method for semantic understanding.

(1) Background: The Electronic Medical Record system, which is a digital medical record management architecture, is critical for reliable medical research. It facilitates the investigation of disease patterns and efficient treatment via collaboration with data scientists. (2) Methods: In this study, we present multidimensional visual tools for the analysis of multidimensional datasets via a combination of 3-dimensional radial coordinate visualization (3D RadVis) and many-objective optimization (e.g., Parallel Coordinates). Also, we propose a user-driven research design to facilitate visualization. We followed a design process to (1) understand the demands of domain experts, (2) define the problems based on relevant works, (3) design visualization, (4) implement visualization, and (5) enable qualitative evaluation by domain experts. (3) Results: This study provides clinical insight into dementia based on EMR data via visual analysis. Results of a case study based on questionnaires surveying daily living activities indicated that daily behaviors influenced the progression of dementia. (4) Conclusions: This study provides a visual analytical tool to support cluster segmentation. Using this tool, we segmented dementia patients into clusters and interpreted the behavioral patterns of each group. This study contributes to biomedical data interpretation based on a visual approach.

This paper suggests a method to refine a massive collective intelligence data, and visualize with multilevel sentiment network, in order to understand information in an intuitive and semantic way. For this study, we first calculated a frequency of sentiment words from each movie review. Second, we designed a Heatmap visualization to effectively discover the main emotions on each online movie review. Third, we formed a Sentiment-Movie Network combining the MDS Map and Social Network in order to fix the movie network topology, while creating a network graph to enable the clustering of similar nodes. Finally, we evaluated our progress to verify if it is actually helpful to improve user cognition for multilevel analysis experience compared to the existing network system, thus concluded that our method provides improved user experience in terms of cognition, being appropriate as an alternative method for semantic understanding.
