ICE-8 — Section 2B: Research Collaboration Network
This force-directed network visualizes research collaborations among eight researchers, with node size encoding publication count, node color denoting research field (ML, CV, NLP, DB), and edge thickness representing joint paper count. Built with d3.v7, the SVG renders a d3.forceSimulation featuring link, charge, center, and collision forces, while d3.drag enables interactive node rearrangement. Node radii scale with publications via a custom function, and edge widths map linearly to joint papers using d3.scaleLinear. The visualization displays researcher names as labels and supports panning through drag interactions.
