Word Associations This series uses the same bigram dataset as the word spectrum visualization. To eliminate occlusion, I developed an entirely different layout. Now, instead of a continuous spectrum of words, words are bucketed into one of 25 different rays. Each of these represent a different tendency of use (ranging from 0 to 100% in 4% intervals). There is a nice visual analogy at play - the "lean" of each ray represents the strength of the tendency towards one of the two terms.
