Exploration of atomic trajectories is fundamental to understanding and characterizing complex chemical systems important in many applications. For instance, any new insight into the mechanisms of ionic migration in catalytic materials could lead to a substantial increase in battery performance. A new statistical measure, called the relative-angle distribution, has been proposed to understand complex motion - whether Brownian, ballistic, or diffusive. The relative-angle distribution can be represented as a collection of 1D histograms, but is currently created in a slow, offline process, making any parameter exploration a tedious and time-consuming task. Furthermore, the resulting plot can hide uncertainty in both the data and the visualization. As a result, once rastered or printed at a fixed resolution, these histograms can be misleading. We present a new analysis tool for the exploration of atomic trajectories that combines an interactive histogram visualization with uncertainty information for both data and plotting errors, and is also linked to an interactive 3D display of trajectories. Our tool enables a holistic exploration of trajectories previously not feasible, with the potential for significant scientific impact. In collaboration with domain experts, we have deployed our tool ta analyze molecular dynamics simulations of lithium-ion diffusion. Users have found that the tool significantly accelerates the exploration process and have used it to validate a number of previously unconfirmed hypotheses.
原子轨迹的探索是理解和表征复杂化学系统的基础,在许多应用中都很重要。例如,对催化材料中离子迁移机制的任何新见解都可能导致电池性能的大幅提高。一种被称为相对角度分布的新统计度量被提出来理解复杂的运动——无论是布朗运动、弹道运动还是扩散运动。相对角度分布可以表示为1D直方图的集合,但目前是在一个缓慢的离线过程中创建的,这使得任何参数探索都是一项繁琐且耗时的任务。此外,生成的图可以隐藏数据和可视化中的不确定性。因此,一旦光栅化或以固定分辨率打印,这些直方图就会产生误导。我们提出了一种新的分析工具,用于探索原子轨迹,该工具将交互式直方图可视化与数据和绘图误差的不确定性信息相结合,并且还与轨迹的交互式3D显示相关联。我们的工具能够全面探索以前不可行的轨迹,具有重大科学影响的潜力。通过与领域专家的合作,我们已经部署了我们的工具来分析锂离子扩散的分子动力学模拟。用户发现该工具大大加快了勘探过程,并使用它验证了许多以前未经证实的假设。

Word clouds have been widely used to present the contents and themes in the text for summary and visualization. In this paper, we propose a new semantic word cloud taking into account the word semantic meanings. Distributed word representation is applied to accurately describe the semantic meaning of words, and a word similarity graph is constructed based on the semantic distance between words to lay out words in a more compact and aesthetic manner. Word-related interactions are introduced to guide users fast read and understand the text. We apply the proposed word cloud to user generated reviews in different fields to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Word clouds are a popular method to visualize the frequency of words in textual data. Nowadays many text-based data sets, such as Flickr tags, are geo-referenced, that is, they have an important spatial component. However, existing automated methods to generate word clouds are unable to incorporate such spatial information. We introduce geo word clouds: word clouds which capture not only the frequency but also the spatial relevance of words. Our input is a set of locations from one (or more) geographic regions with (possibly several) text labels per location. We aggregate word frequencies according to point clusters and employ a greedy strategy to place appropriately sized labels without overlap as close as possible to their corresponding locations. While doing so we "draw" the spatial shapes of the geographic regions with the corresponding labels. We experimentally explore trade-offs concerning the location of labels, their relative sizes and the number of spatial clusters. The resulting word clouds are visually pleasing and have a low error in terms of relative scaling and locational accuracy of words, while using a small number of clusters per label.
词云是一种流行的可视化文本数据中单词频率的方法。如今,许多基于文本的数据集(如Flickr标签)都是地理引用的,也就是说,它们具有重要的空间成分。然而,现有的自动生成词云的方法无法包含这样的空间信息。我们介绍了地理词云:词云不仅捕获了词的频率,而且还捕获了词的空间相关性。我们的输入是一组来自一个(或多个)地理区域的位置,每个位置有(可能有几个)文本标签。我们根据点聚类聚合词频,并采用贪婪策略将适当大小且不重叠的标签放置在尽可能靠近其相应位置的地方。在此过程中,我们用相应的标签“绘制”地理区域的空间形状。我们通过实验探索了标签的位置、相对大小和空间簇的数量之间的权衡。生成的词云在视觉上令人愉悦,并且在单词的相对缩放和位置精度方面具有较低的误差,同时每个标签使用少量的聚类。

SepMe: 2002 New visual separation measures 2002年9月9日新的视觉分隔措施

Our goal is to accurately model human class separation judgements in color-coded scatterplots. Towards this goal, we propose a set of 2002 visual separation measures, by systematically combining 17 neighborhood graphs and 14 class purity functions, with different parameterizations. Using a Machine Learning framework, we evaluate these measures based on how well they predict human separation judgements. We found that more than 58% of the 2002 new measures outperform the best state-of-the-art Distance Consistency (DSC) measure. Among the 2002, the best measure is the average proportion of same-class neighbors among the 0.35-Observable Neighbors of each point of the target class (short GONG 0.35 DIR CPT), with a prediction accuracy of 92.9%, which is 11.7% better than DSC. We also discuss alternative, well-performing measures and give guidelines when to use which.
我们的目标是在颜色编码的散点图中准确地模拟人类的阶级分离判断。为了实现这一目标,我们通过系统地组合17个邻域图和14个不同参数化的类纯度函数,提出了一套2002年的视觉分离措施。使用机器学习框架,我们根据它们预测人类分离判断的程度来评估这些措施。我们发现超过58%的2002年新测量优于最先进的距离一致性(DSC)测量。其中,最好的度量是目标类各点的0.35个可观测邻居中同类邻居的平均比例(简称GONG 0.35 DIR CPT),预测精度为92.9%,比DSC提高11.7%。我们还讨论了可选的、执行良好的度量方法,并给出了何时使用哪一种方法的指导方针。

Online bookstores have highly thrived and changed consumer behaviors in these years. However, most customers go to online bookstores only when they have specific targets. One reason is that the current web interfaces are usually too complex and cluttered for users to browse. In addition, current visualization interfaces only display the results associated with a single attribute, thus requiring users to interact intensively to find their targets. Inspired by the user experiences (UX) in physical bookstores, we present Bookwall, an online bookstore interface which comprises two components: Category Map and Wall View, enabling users to find their targets more efficiently and releasing users from the burden of complicated operations. Specifically, the category map produces a map with a "natural" map-like look, providing an overview of the clusters and neighborhood of book categories. The wall view enables displaying query results satisfying dual query attributes simultaneously. The results show that Bookwall can provide the users a favourable alternative visualization.
近年来,网上书店蓬勃发展,改变了消费者的消费习惯。然而,大多数顾客只有在有特定目标时才会去网上书店。其中一个原因是,当前的网络界面通常过于复杂和混乱,用户无法浏览。此外,当前的可视化界面只显示与单个属性相关的结果,因此需要用户进行密集的交互才能找到目标。受实体书店用户体验(UX)的启发,我们提出了Bookwall,这是一个在线书店界面,由两个组件组成:Category Map和Wall View,使用户能够更有效地找到他们的目标,并将用户从复杂的操作负担中解脱出来。具体来说,类别地图生成了一个具有“自然”地图外观的地图,提供了图书类别的集群和邻域的概述。墙视图支持同时显示满足双重查询属性的查询结果。结果表明,Bookwall可以为用户提供一个良好的替代可视化。

In nuclear engineering, understanding the safety margins of the nuclear reactor via simulations is arguably of paramount importance in predicting and preventing nuclear accidents. It is therefore crucial to perform sensitivity analysis to understand how changes in the model inputs affect the outputs. Modern nuclear simulation tools rely on numerical representations of the sensitivity information - inherently lacking in visual encodings - offering limited effectiveness in communicating and exploring the generated data. In this paper, we design a framework for sensitivity analysis and visualization of multidimensional nuclear simulation data using partition-based, topology-inspired regression models and report on its efficacy. We rely on the established Morse-Smale regression technique, which allows us to partition the domain into monotonic regions where easily interpretable linear models can be used to assess the influence of inputs on the output variability. The underlying computation is augmented with an intuitive and interactive visual design to effectively communicate sensitivity information to nuclear scientists. Our framework is being deployed into the multipurpose probabilistic risk assessment and uncertainty quantification framework RAVEN (Reactor Analysis and Virtual Control Environment). We evaluate our framework using a simulation dataset studying nuclear fuel performance.
在核工程中,通过模拟来了解核反应堆的安全边际对于预测和预防核事故可以说是至关重要的。因此,执行敏感性分析以了解模型输入的变化如何影响输出是至关重要的。现代核模拟工具依赖于灵敏度信息的数值表示——固有地缺乏视觉编码——在交流和探索生成的数据方面提供有限的有效性。在本文中,我们设计了一个框架,使用基于分区的拓扑启发回归模型对多维核模拟数据进行敏感性分析和可视化,并报告了其有效性。我们依赖于已建立的morse - small回归技术,该技术允许我们将域划分为单调区域,在单调区域中可以使用易于解释的线性模型来评估输入对输出可变性的影响。基础计算增强了直观和交互的视觉设计,有效地向核科学家传达敏感性信息。我们的框架被部署到多用途概率风险评估和不确定性量化框架RAVEN(反应堆分析和虚拟控制环境)中。我们使用研究核燃料性能的模拟数据集来评估我们的框架。

The rising trend of MOOCs has attracted wide ranging research interests. Among all the existing studies related to MOOCs, most of them focus on individuals' study behaviors and evaluations (e.g., analysis on click streams for video-watching behavior exploration, etc.) for course design purposes. However, in addition to traditional course materials, MOOCs also provide interactive user forums to encourage students to seek help from peers, which endows the courses with social network formation and interaction. Thus, we present NetworkSeer to help evaluate why MOOC students use forums, and what they do. NetworkSeer visualizes interactions in the forum, including where, when the interactions happen, and why. It also enables filtering out un-targeted groups. A case study is conducted to demonstrate its usefulness.
mooc的兴起引起了广泛的研究兴趣。在现有的与mooc相关的研究中,大多数都是针对个人的学习行为和评价(例如,分析点击流以探索视频观看行为等)进行课程设计。然而,在传统的课程教材之外,mooc还提供了交互式用户论坛,鼓励学生向同龄人寻求帮助,这使得课程具有社交网络的形成和互动性。因此,我们提出NetworkSeer来帮助评估MOOC学生使用论坛的原因,以及他们在做什么。NetworkSeer可视化论坛中的交互,包括交互发生的地点、时间和原因。它还可以过滤掉非目标组。通过一个案例研究来证明其有效性。

STAC: Enhancing stacked graphs for time series analysis 增强时间序列分析的堆叠图
Pub Date : 2016-04-01 DOI: 10.1109/PACIFICVIS.2016.7465277

Stacked graphs have been widely used to represent multiple time series simultaneously to show the changes of individual values and their aggregation over time. However, when the number of time series becomes very large, the layers representing time series with small values take up only very small proportions in the stacked graph, making them hard to trace. As a result, it is challenging for analysts to detect the correlation of individual layers and their aggregation, and find trend similarities and differences between layers solely with stacked graphs. In this paper, we study the correlations of individual layers, and their aggregation in time series data presented with stacked graphs, focusing on the local regions within any given time intervals. Specifically, we present STAC, an interactive visual analytics system, to help analysts gain insights into the correlations in stacked graphs. While preserving the original stacked shape, we further link a stacked graph with auxiliary views to facilitate the in-depth analysis of correlations in time series data. A case study based on a real-world dataset demonstrates the effectiveness of our system in gaining insights into time series data analysis and facilitating various analytical tasks.
堆叠图已被广泛用于同时表示多个时间序列,以显示单个值的变化及其随时间的聚集。然而,当时间序列的数量变得非常大时,代表小值时间序列的层在堆叠图中只占很小的比例,很难追踪。因此,对于分析人员来说,仅通过堆叠图来检测单个层及其聚合的相关性以及发现层之间的趋势相似性和差异性是具有挑战性的。在本文中,我们研究了以堆叠图表示的时间序列数据中各层的相关性及其聚集,重点关注任意给定时间间隔内的局部区域。具体来说,我们介绍了交互式可视化分析系统STAC,以帮助分析人员深入了解堆叠图中的相关性。在保留原始堆叠形状的同时,我们进一步将堆叠图与辅助视图联系起来,以方便对时间序列数据中的相关性进行深入分析。基于真实数据集的案例研究证明了我们的系统在获得时间序列数据分析和促进各种分析任务方面的有效性。

Stored procedures are used in database systems to process and aggregate data. Hundreds of stored procedures often form a complex process network with documented and hidden dependencies that is difficult to understand, maintain, and debug. This paper introduces a novel approach to support such tasks by visually comparing a specific process run to other runs of the same process. The visualization is based on a force-directed node-link diagram arranged on a timeline. Color coding, histograms, and trend charts are used to highlight temporal deviations. The approach has been implemented as an interactive web application and used by professional database developers for solving realistic maintenance and debugging tasks. The feedback of these expert users confirms the usefulness and practical relevance of the approach.
存储过程在数据库系统中用于处理和聚合数据。数百个存储过程通常形成一个复杂的过程网络,其中包含难以理解、维护和调试的文档化和隐藏的依赖关系。本文介绍了一种新颖的方法,通过可视化地比较特定进程运行与同一进程的其他运行来支持此类任务。可视化是基于排列在时间轴上的力导向节点链接图。颜色编码、直方图和趋势图用于突出显示时间偏差。该方法已被实现为交互式web应用程序,并被专业数据库开发人员用于解决实际的维护和调试任务。这些专家用户的反馈证实了该方法的有用性和实际相关性。
