Sankey Diagram 

A Sankey diagram visually depicts the flow of data, energy, or material within AI systems, where arrow widths represent the volume or significance of information. It illustrates how AI processes and distributes data, offering insights into efficiency and impact across different stages of AI applications.

Use Cases

Energy Flow Analysis

Used to visualize energy flows in systems such as power plants or industrial processes.

Information Flow

Helps in visualizing data flows in networks or information systems.

Resource Allocation

Used to analyze and optimize resource distribution or consumption.

Importance

Flow Visualization

Provides a clear visual representation of flow dynamics, highlighting major contributors or bottlenecks.

Efficiency Analysis

Helps in identifying areas for optimization or improvement in resource utilization.

Communication

Facilitates communication of complex flow patterns or distributions to stakeholders.

Analogies

A Sankey diagram is like a river delta map. Just as a river delta map shows the distribution and flow paths of water channels into a larger body, a Sankey diagram visualizes the distribution and flow of resources or data through a system, illustrating the relative quantities or rates.
