Explaining sentiment score and topic scores

[edublancas]

We are not explaining what sentiment score and topic scores in the interactive component, should we add a small legend somewhere to do so?

[valmikkpatel]

We could add it. There will be too much text to add it on the page directly but I could try using a tooltip.

What should I write there?

[aaronsadholz]

If we opt to add this, here is a one sentence description of topic score:

Each artist's topic scores range from 0 to 1, and represent the frequency the artist references that topic relative to other artists.

@aaronsadholz @jose-alvarado-guzman how can we explain the scores in one sentence?

[edublancas]

@valmikkpatel maybe add it at the bottom? if you go for the tooltip route, just make sure to hint the user that they can get that by hovering

[valmikkpatel]

@edublancas can you also give me a one-liner about how similar artists are found?

[edublancas]

We used word embeddings to represent the bag of words as dense vectors, then took the mean vector per artist and computed pairwise distances. Most similar artists are the closest artists using euclidean distance.
