A wordcloud/wordmesh generator that allows users to extract keywords from text, and create a simple and interpretable wordcloud.

Why word-mesh?

Most popular open-source wordcloud generators (word_cloud, d3-cloud, echarts-wordcloud) focus more on the aesthetics of the visualization than on effectively conveying textual features. word-mesh strikes a balance between the two and uses the various statistical, semantic and grammatical features of the text to inform visualization parameters.

Features:

• keyword extraction: In addition to 'word frequency' based extraction techniques, word-mesh supports graph based methods like textrank, sgrank and bestcoverage.
• word clustering: Words can be grouped together on the canvas based on their semantic similarity, co-occurence frequency, and other properties.
• keyword filtering: Extracted keywords can be filtered based on their pos tags or whether they are named entities.
• font colors and font sizes: These can be set based on the following criteria - word frequency, pos-tags, ranking algorithm score.
