[Open Beta] The Newsphere: A News Visualization Platform

Hey guys, thought you might be interested in this. My friends and I are working on a website called The Newsphere and we’re looking for others who share our interest in understanding both current and past events to help us beta test our platform.

The Newsphere acts as a virtual map of world news, enabling users to see the news as the result of a complex web of relationships between people, places, organizations, and countries. You can watch our intro video here: newsphere.org or keep reading to learn more about the Newsphere.

Basically, our model analyzes thousands of news articles every day, and uses natural language processing to extract the different entities in them, as well as to identify relationships between them. Over time we construct narratives, which the user can see illustrated on a graphical timeline. The goal here is to give context to current events, enabling users to view recent developments in light of past patterns of behavior.

If you’re interested in learning more, you can comment below or email me directly at [alex@newsphere.org](mailto:alex@newsphere.org) and I'd be happy to get back to you. If you're interested in signing up for the open beta (which we're planning to launch by the end of the month!), you can find the form here: https://newsphere.org/signup Thanks again!
