Unlocking Personal Knowledge Management System Insights with Text Graph Visualization
Introduction
Discover how to extract valuable insights from your personal knowledge management system or second brain using text network analysis and AI for visualization. Learn how to leverage structural insights to uncover potential connections between different topics, and facilitate new and innovative associations within your knowledge network.
Unlocking Insights from Your Personal Knowledge Management System
-
In this video, I will demonstrate how to extract valuable insights from your personal knowledge management system or second brain.
-
I will show you how to use text network analysis and AI to create a visualization of your knowledge system, like the graph I have here for my obsidian vault.
-
The graph displays the main concepts and the topical groups they belong to, providing a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of your knowledge.
-
Using this visualization, you can identify the most influential elements and leverage structural insights to uncover potential connections between different topics.
-
By detecting structural gaps and prompting the system to generate interesting facts to bridge these gaps, you can facilitate new and innovative associations within your knowledge network.
Using Inferno for Relevant and Insightful Content
-
And what’s interesting here is that it will be relevant by definition because you’re touching upon the topics that you’re talking about but you’re linking them in a new way. This we can only do if we have structural insight into the text and this is exactly what Inferno does. It allows us to do so.
-
Here we see some interesting research facts which we can reiterate through and add some of them into the graph. They will be tagged, which means that later we can filter those statements that we added and import them back into Obsidian or Lock SEC.
-
Another interesting way to use the AI feature here is to actually get into the graph visualization and to look a little bit closer at what it offers. So basically here we have three different views and we see pages.
Understanding Obsidian and Logseq Features
-
Obsidian and Logseq default to showing only the connections between pages, known as the graph view.
-
In addition to the graph view, both platforms provide structural insights into how the pages belong together and which groups they are connected to.
-
Text analysis is also offered, allowing users to analyze the concepts used in their discourse through text mining visualization of the main concepts and their relations.
-
Users have the option to view both the graph and text analysis simultaneously, providing a comprehensive insight into their writing and the language used.
Exploring and Generating Content with AI for Fractal and Network Concepts
-
The process begins with the exploration of nodes related to fractals and networks within a graph.
-
The author selects these nodes to hide them from the graph, revealing the underlying content that is hidden.
-
Upon further exploration, the author identifies a model and decides to hide it as well, leading to the discovery of something related to distribution and scale.
-
The author finds this discovery intriguing and further delves into the context in which these nodes were used.
-
Utilizing AI, the author plans to generate compelling content related to the identified concepts.
-
After selecting the relevant nodes, the author also chooses to explore entirely different concepts located on the opposite side of the graph, such as brain activity.
-
The four selected nodes are then used to request the AI system to generate an interesting fact connecting these concepts.
Saving and Visualizing Facts Tutorial
-
The process of saving and visualizing facts involves grouping concepts together and saving them into a graph.
-
Saved information is given a tag, such as ‘ai facts’, for easy categorization and retrieval later.
-
When all content is deselected, the user can view the visualized facts in the graph and export them as an md file.
-
The exported information can be reintegrated into platforms like Roam Research, Obsidian, or Logseq.
-
For a more detailed tutorial, interested individuals can refer to the available longer tutorial on the channel or in the support system.
-
Feedback on the approach is encouraged, and users are invited to try out the process and share their thoughts in the comments section of the video.
-
Users are encouraged to provide feedback on their experience, highlight interesting aspects, suggest areas for improvement, and propose additional features they would like to see.
Conclusion
Empower yourself with the tools and techniques to unlock valuable insights from your personal knowledge management system. Leverage text network analysis, AI visualization, and structural insights to gain a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of your knowledge and drive new associations and discoveries.
