    Hi Adam,

    there is a useful list of CL-demos compiled by Martin Volk:
    http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/CL/InteractiveTools.html

    A neat demonstration and visualization of clustering words and word
    senses was developed within the Infomap project, Stanford:
    http://infomap.stanford.edu/webdemo
    I used this page with my students and they liked it a lot.

    Cheers,

    Spela
