Abstract

Do algorithms for drawing graphs pass the Turing Test? That is, are their outputs indistinguishable from graphs drawn by humans? We address this question through a human-centred experiment, focusing on `small' graphs, of a size for which it would be reasonable for someone to choose to draw the...
