Treecloud of the 50 most frequent words in Obama's presidential campaign speeches

Treecloud of the 50 most frequent words
in Obama's presidential campaign speeches.

TreeCloud has a new website at treecloud.org!

In December 2007, Jean Véronis published on his blog a word cloud with words arranged on a tree which reflected their semantic proximity inside a corpus of newspaper articles.

The program below, TreeCloud, builds such tree clouds for any text. Such pictures may be used for many purposes: quick visualization of the global content of a text (article, speech, report, book, ...), discourse analysis, text comparison through the comparison of their tree clouds. To know more, please watch this slidecast. About the use of tree clouds in literature analysis, you can read this article (in French).

If you use TreeCloud, please cite this page or:

For feedback, questions, feature requests or bug reports for TreeCloud, etc., please contact me, or leave a message on Jean Véronis's blog or mine.
