Coupling Story to Visualization: Using Textual Analysis as a Bridge Between Data and Interpretation

Online writers and journalism media are increasingly combining visualization (and other multimedia content) with narrative text to create narrative visualizations. Often, however, the two elements are designed and presented independently of one another. We propose an approach to automatically integrate text and visualization elements. We begin with a writer's narrative that presumably can be supported through visual data evidence. We leverage natural language processing, quantitative narrative analysis, and information visualization to (1) automatically extract narrative components (who, what, when, where) from data-rich stories, and (2) integrate the supporting data evidence with the text to develop a narrative visualization. We also introduce interactive deep coupling to facilitate bidirectional interaction from text to visualization and visualization to text. We demonstrate the approach with a case study in the data-rich field of sports journalism.
