CrowdForest

Abstract

The large number of social platforms developed enable users to express their opinions and access information more freely. However, their algorithmic strategies can have a high possibility of exacerbating a filter bubble or echo chambers which may evoke distinctive emotions response with others. Herein, we present a new online visualization tool for opinion sharing, called CrowdForest, which allows users to visualize their opinions, interacting with others based on semantic figurative metaphors driven by sentiment analysis.
