Visualizing Social Networks.
TLDR
The historian Alfred Crosby (1997) has proposed that visualization is one of only two factors that are responsible for the explosive development of all of modern science.Abstract:
The use of visual images is common in many branches of science. And reviewers often suggest that such images are important for progress in the various fields (Koestler, 1964; Arnheim, 1970; Taylor, 1971; Tukey, 1972; Klovdahl, 1981; Tufte, 1983; Belien and Leenders). The historian Alfred Crosby (1997) has gone much further. He has proposed that visualization is one of only two factors that are responsible for the explosive development of all of modern science. The other is measurement.read more

The Act of Creation
TL;DR: Koestler as mentioned in this paper examines the idea that we are at our most creative when rational thought is suspended, for example, in dreams and trancelike states, and concludes that "the act of creation is the most creative act in human history".

Vizster: visualizing online social networks
Jeffrey Heer,danah boyd +1 more
TL;DR: This work has designed and implemented a visualization system for playful end-user exploration and navigation of large scale online social networks, and builds upon familiar node link network layouts to contribute customized techniques for exploring connectivity in large graph structures.

Spectral clustering and the high-dimensional stochastic blockmodel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied spectral clustering under the stochastic block model and showed that the eigenvectors of the normalized graph Laplacian asymptotically converges to the eigens of a population normalized graph.
