Created at the IBM Research with Irene Ros. Many Bills was a web based visualization of congressional legislation, that ran from 2010-2012, with the goal of making long complex documents like legislation more digestible by to readers.

Combining machine learning with visualization, Many Bills provided a visualization and user interface to browse and read through collection of US Congressional bills (proposed laws) as well as communicate interesting findings to others.
