Abstract

Social communities play an important role in many domains. While a lot of attention has been given to developing efficient methods for detecting and analyzing social communities, it still remains a great challenge to provide intuitive search interfaces for end-users who wish to discover and explore such communities. Trying to fill the gaps, in this demonstration we present Microcosm: a holistic solution for visual discovery, exploration and analysis of social communities.
