Abstract  

[Objective] This paper designs a visualization method for the appropriation of research funding, aiming to more effectively present the locations of funded projects. [Methods] First, we retrieved 4,669 funded projects from NSF’s Information and Intelligent System. Then, we added topic tags to these projects using clustering algorithm and human interpretation. Third, we extracted the high-dimensional text features for the application documents with TF-IDF model and LSA model. Fourth, we used the t-SNE algorithm to project high-dimensional features into two or three-dimensional spaces for visualization. Finally, we examined the visualization results with pre-classified topic labels. [Results] The proposed method created maps of funded projects, in both two-dimensional or three-dimensional spaces. [Limitations] The algorithm parameters need to be adjusted manually. More research is needed to evaluate the proposed method with documents of projects funded by other agencies. [Conclusions] The proposed method could generate maps for the funded projects, which is a helpful tool for scientific management.
