Visualizing quantitative aspects of communicative and commercial interaction

Abstract. A combination of techniques is proposed for visualizing the multidimensional interaction within communication involving many agents. The principal steps are the preparation of data, cluster analysis, smoothly transient shading or partial dimming of the cluster configurations, and, finally, the indication of the major vectors of the matrix underlying the visualization. The techniques do not require 3D simulations/projections but could well be incorporated with these to enhance their visualization power. The method is illustrated with data from spoken interaction and business transactions.
