M.O.V.E (Multi-criteria Optimisation and Visualisation
Experimentation tool) allows to quickly visualize your corpus and assist you in selecting informative points/documents to annotate.
It is applicable to most of the corpuses; so give it a try :)
For an introduction see our LREC
presentation TODO
and the corresponding
paper
# Installation
Install [Gephi](https://gephi.org) (ver. 0.9+).
Download [MOVE plugin](https://github.com/move-tool/gephi-plugins/raw/master/modules/move/target/move-1.0.0.nbm)
Do a [manual plugin install](https://marketplace.gephi.org/how-to-install-a-plugin/)
# Usage
## Preparation: Data in Network Form
To use the tool; your data needs to be in a network form (Gephi allows importing most of the common formats).
If you data is not yet in a network form for many of the domains a meaningful network representation could be obtained; for examples on how to do that see a [presentation TODO](TODO)
## Starting
Start Gephi.
Load your network.
To see MOVE's UI; in the menu bar select `Window/NetworkOptimizationPanel`.
## Defining Criteria
There are two tabs that allow to specify your criteria.
### Criteria Tab
`Criteria` tab allows to specify some basic criteria (# of nodes);
as well as `utitility` oriented criteria; annotation costs are represented by negative numbers.
### Metrics Tab
`Metrics` tab allows to specify how desirable certain characteristics are (e.g. number of links).
You can use any of your node's properties as metrics (you can see them in the `Data Laboratory` view);
as well as numerous network metrics which are available via menu bar `Window / Statistics` (additional metrics could be added via plugins).
You need to `Re-Initialize` the graph before the metrics could be used to define your criteria.
## Optimisation Tab
`Optimisation` tab is used to define the parameters for optimisation; initially you can just use the default values; and then adjust them.
## Display Tab
`Display` tab allows you to configure visual aspects of the MOVE tool.
# Development
MOVE is a plugin for gephi;
see general instructions on how plugins are developed and managed: https://github.com/gephi/gephi-plugins
Plugin's source is in: https://github.com/move-tool/gephi-plugins/tree/master/modules/move
Plugin relies on additional module which would need to be installed in a local maven repository:
