Description

<p>Bibliographic big data visualization method is proposed by incorporating a combination of fuzzy c-means clustering and the Newman-Girvan clustering algorithm, where clustered results are displayed in a network view by grouping objects with similar cluster memberships. As current bibliographic visualizations focus on the crisp relationship among data, fuzzy analysis and visualization may offer insights to bibliographic big data, enabling faster decision making by improving displayed information precision. The proposed method is applied to the DBLP citation network dataset. Results show that merging two clustering algorithms and visualization using fuzzy techniques enables the user to converge a few target papers within an average of 5 minutes from 1.5 million papers stored in the DBLP. Users targeted for the proposed method include researchers, educators, and students who hope to use real-world social and biological networks. The proposal is planned to be opened to the public through the Internet.</p>
