Hi Mike, nice to see you here. In your opinion, what would be the best way to visualize a bipartie graph where the edges have weights and other properties? More background if you're interested: the graph is some result from an LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) analysis on a set of documents. There are a couple of hundreds topics and a few thousands word/phrases. Thanks!

I’m not sure; it would depend on what you want to “ask” your data / what you want to learn from the visualization. I would look for existing visualizations with similar applications for inspiration, and I would try a bunch of forms (with your data) to evaluate what works, and iterate.

Don't know if this solves your particular problem, but I liked this LDA visualizer that uses D3: https://github.com/agoldst/dfr-browser

Thanks! This is an excellent reference.
