Data Science analysis of the relationships in the novel Dune by Frank Herbert
This is a first pass.
You could do some preprocessing and attempt to link the various titles to character names : Duke Leto Atreides, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, etc.
However, I thought it would be interesting to take a first version where the clusters might suggest the context that formal titles were used as opposed to the more familiar names. Although I don't think even Feyd called the Baron 'Vlad'.
Another step would be to take out the organisations and analyse those separately from the people.
