Wordles for STOC/FOCS/SODA/SoCG

A wordle is a visualization of the words in a text, organized to give more frequent words higher priority. It's a cute way of illustrating the repeated concepts in a text.

My student Parasaran Raman made wordles for the paper titles for FOCS 2008 and STOC/SODA/SoCG 2009. You can click on each image to get a larger view. Draw your own conclusions :)

  3. Am I wrong, or is STOC 2009 the only conference that has the word "Algorithm" in titles, in addition to "Algorithms"? In the other conferences it only seems to be plural.
