Stanford Part-of-Speech Tagger is a free Java implementation for the recognition of parts of speech, and a part of the Stanford Natural Language Processing toolset. It reads text and assigns parts of speech to each word such as noun, verb or adjective. This tool can be used with English, French, Arabic and German text.
Visualization
Protovis is a free, open source tool for composing custom views of data from simple elements such as bars or dots. Marks are defined through dynamic properties to allow inheritance, scales and layouts for simplified visualization construction. This tool uses JavaScript and SVG in order to ensure web-native visualizations. Protovis is no longer under active construction; many of the concepts used in its development have been implemented in its successor, D3.js.
Visualization
Statwing is an easy-to-use, web-based tool for data analysis and visualization. Upload data, select variables of interest, and Statwing automatically selects statistical tests and visualizations, then distills the results into plain English sentences (as well as traditional statistical output for those so inclined). Free trial available, as well as multiple pricing plans: Statwing Silver — $50/month (unlimited datasets up to 50 MB each) Statwing Gold — $100/month (unlimited datasets up to 500 MB each) Statwing Enterprise — Inquire for cost (unlimited datasets up to 5 GB each, optional on-premise deploy)
Visualization
StoryMapJS is a project by KnightLab which aims to help journalists and historians tell stories by using maps using a straight-forward and simple authoring tool. It is constructed around a framework of highlighting the locations of a series of events. As an editing tool, it is relatively intuitive and easy to use.
Visualization
SylvaDB is a graph database management system. It allows users with no knowledge in graph theory to model, collect, query, and analyze data in a network structure. SylvaDB provides tools for easy creation of schemas and modelling, automatic forms creation to input the data, collaborative features, a visual query editor, global and local search, reports charts generation, networks metrics, and visualizations tools.
