Giving the power of the graph to the user TechInMotionSF @ Quid Joey Hobbs

I’ll be talking about…
• An overview of graphs
• What Quid does differently, in graph terms
• A demonstration using Quid
What is a graph?
• A graph is not a chart
• A set of things (nodes or vertices)
• A set of links which connect these things (edges)
• Graphs are often used, but not often exposed
!
• The graph structure itself contains a lot of information
• We allow the user to define a set of things!
!
• We compute links between these things by analyzing text!
!
• The user then explores the graph directly
