Visualizing time-oriented data - A systematic view (2007, methodology): “News articles (or contained keywords) can be analyzed with ThemeRiver [7], photo collections can be mapped via MyLifeBits [8], and project plans can be made comprehensible with PlanningLines [9].”
How Hierarchical Topics Evolve in Large Text Corpora (2014, methodology): “Numerous methods [14, 42, 41] leverage a river metaphor to convey evolving topics over time.”
