Ptolemy

Caveat: the maps below are likely wrong. Please don't use them as examples of good concept maps. They're only shared publicly to document the tool's evolution.

First Try

Part of this is accurate, but it’s curious to have Books as the top concept. Clearly the books didn’t write Ptolemy, so that’s wrong. But what’s most interesting is that this completely ignores Ptolemy’s Earth-centered astronomical model, which is what he’s most famous for.

Second Try

Among the least useful concept maps: a long list of items rendered as a single file under the main concept. Could’ve been an outline.

Third Try

This, on the other hand, is a useful concept map — one of the most accurate llmapper has produced yet. If submitting one od the three as output from the tool, this is the one I’d pick.

Comments

None of the three maps mentioned the Earth-centric astronomical model. That might be partly because the Wikipedia page doesn’t emphasize that over Ptolemy’s other accomplishments.

Maybe a future version of the tool could ask for a second opinion; something like “why is this subject notable?”
