• Usage:

To run StorylineMapper, use the following command in your terminal:

storylinemapper community-detection "YOUR_TEXT_HERE" --method louvain --output OUTPUT_FILENAME --design-options

Example

Here is an example command to run community detection using the Louvain method and output the results to community_network.html

```bash
storylinemapper community-detection "Dr. Emily Watson, a leading scientist from the Global Institute of Advanced Technologies (GIAT), collaborated with Dr. James Carter from the National Research Institute (NRI) on a groundbreaking quantum computing project..." --method louvain --output community_network.html --design-options

Options

• --method: Specifies the community detection method to use (e.g., louvain, infomap, etc.). Default is louvain.
• --output: Specifies the output file name (e.g., community_network.html).
• --design-options: Adds additional design options to the visualization, such as node shapes, colors, and layouts.

Output

The output file will be an HTML file (community_network.html in the example) containing a visual representation of the detected communities and relationships between entities in the text.
