Leftbank Newsistan (IMAGE) University of Arizona College of Engineering Caption Leftbank Newsistan is just one section of an entire TV show map, co-authored by UA computer science researcher Stephen Kobourov, illustrating a visualization technique for converting large-scale relational data into a metaphorical map. The map in its entirety depicts relationships between the 1,000 most-watched television shows. Each show is linked to 10 most similar shows, and map clusters, or "countries," are represented by different colors. A metaphorical cybersecurity map would visualize network activity that could indicate security threats from without or within.
