Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for enabling analysis of communication content while preserving confidentiality. In one embodiment, communication content is processed to increase the similarity of superficially dissimilar instances of communication content and/or to increase the distinctiveness of superficially similar instances of communications content. In this embodiment at least part of the processed communication content is hashed to obscure the actual communication content. In one embodiment, social network analysis is performed on the communication content after hashing, and visualization of the social network analysis includes thread graphs and/or circular graphs.
