Workshop: Word Rains and Word Clouds

This free and open hybrid workshop aims at bringing together developers and researchers, primarily from the humanities, with an interest in using text visualization for exploring texts. The workshop will include a short tutorial in how to use the Word Rain text visualization technique, as well as presentations of research where word clouds or word rains have been used. It will conclude with a discussion sharing experiences from ongoing research projects of the possibilities and problems related to the study of text collections using visualization. No previous knowledge of text visualization is required. See wordrain.org, for more information on the Word Rain technique.
