  • Pairwise within-concept diversity: the average RatioOfLang1InLang2 of article pairs in two language editions that describe the same concepts.

Static Analysis Output

We display the images used for these concepts based on how many languages feature them. The bar chart visualization reflects the size of the image on the page (a signal of visual emphasis). Below that is a hierarchical clustering based on how similar the image distribution is. The images (in order of appearance) are also rendered as is an analysis of visually similar images that have different filenames. Note that this is static output from our clustering system (we do offline processing to analyze the images). Similar images are not thresholded in this view (a higher number means a worse match).
