# Overview
PeopleMap is an interactive, web-based tool that uses natural language processing (NLP) techniques to improve the accuracy of the information and characterization of researchers. The tool maps out researchers through graphical representations that make use of a variety of textual characteristics related to each researcher, such as college/school of their professorship, laboratory affiliation, titles and abstracts of their papers found on Google Scholar, and Google Scholar keywords. By analyzing this information through a variety of natural language processing techniques, such as NMF and TFIDF, we can get a better understanding of the topics and focuses related to the variety of academic researchers. These connections and groups can, in turn, be visualized through a graphical system of nodes and clusters that builds a more intuitive image of the researchers, which helps us understand the vastness of academic diversity better.
