What it does

Creates a network of entities based on their similarities.

Once installed, you’ll find the plugin in Gephi in the menu: File -> Import Spigot -> Data importer (by computing similarities).

Example of input files (need to be csv format):

toto,green
nana,green
dede,blue
gege,blue
riri,blue
fifi,yellow
fifi,blue

-> First column corresponds to persons, and the second column correspond to their tastes in color.

-> This plugin will create a network of persons where the persons with similar color tastes will be connected:

Weighted features are also possible in the input file (select the corresponding option in the wizzard):

John,ice-cream,8
Kate,ice-cream,6
Harold,soda,7
Serge,soda,10
Clifford,ice-cream,9
Alice,cake,5
Alice,soda,8

This plugin will compute a network of persons, based on the nature of their tastes in cakes, soda, etc. and based on the intensity of these tastes (as represented by the value for each line).
