low effort post: I've been thinking about a (real time) 3D point-cloud (news articles) NLP-summation visualization of the news, seeing it skew towards certain directions like war or something as the "absolute worst case". My data source would be for example Reddit's API for worldnews/news top rated.

That would be very interesting. Some other data researcher has dipped into this a bit: SpiegelMining – Reverse Engineering von Spiegel-Online (33c3): * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YpwsdRKt8Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YpwsdRKt8Q * English version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYviBstTUwo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYviBstTUwo

  Working my way through this, wish they lowered speaker's voice on the English version so it's easier to focus on the English one for me/don't know German. But it's better than nothing, certainly better than the auto-translated captions ha.

  Yeah this thing here https://youtu.be/bYviBstTUwo?t=1411 https://youtu.be/bYviBstTUwo?t=1411 I gotta get to a point where I can make that, the weights/math part.

This sounds interesting. Seeing a map, the dots of interest - you could even have “related wikipedia pages which reference this data point, and which have a sudden influx of view/edit activity”. As a result, a user could explore a map, and could see the most relevant wiki pages (or even extracted insights) on the sidebar. Date range slider could explore the past (eg previous wars in Afghanistan, and which articles are most relevant), and zoom to the future (many Wiki pages reference dates & plans - it would be interesting to zoom to 10 years from now, and see planned initiatives, construction projects, trade agreements, and so on) A true spatial news explorer.
