Comparison: 2011 Conference Proceedings from ICALT and ICCE

This is an un-interpreted and automatically-generated report to show the variation in terms used in the full papers of two conferences: ICALT and ICCE. A separate subsection shows those terms that appear more frequently in papers from each conference in turn. Selection criteria based on statistical significance are used to determine which terms are selected; the probability that the difference in frequency might be due to pure chance must be less than 0.1% in addition to other criteria to select dominant terms (see "technicalities").

All plots will open in a new window/tab as 1000x1000 pixel images if clicked on.

IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies

Frequency Plot

ICALT Frequencies and Significance
Frequency = the fraction of terms
Significance = -log10 of the probability that the difference in frequency between the conferences is "pure chance" (i.e. 3 is 1 in 1,000, 4 is 1 in 10,000 etc)
Docs = the number of documents containing the term (colour code and area of square)
Also available as hi-res pdf.

 

Term Co-occurrence Graph

ICALT Term Co-occurrence
Node size = significance
Node colour is accoring to grouping
Edge (connector) size = number of papers containing the connected terms.
NB: only the most-connective 25% of edges are shown

 

ICCE

Frequency Plot

ICCE Frequencies and Significance
Frequency = the fraction of terms
Significance = -log10 of the probability that the difference in frequency between the conferences is "pure chance" (i.e. 3 is 1 in 1,000, 4 is 1 in 10,000 etc)
Docs = the number of documents containing the term (colour code and area of square)
