Visual analytics approaches have contributed greatly to data understanding and analysis due to utilization of both automated algorithms and human's quick visual perception and interaction. However, visual analytics targeting high dimensional large-scale data has been challenging due to low dimensional screen space with limited pixels to represent data. Among various computational techniques supporting visual analytics, dimension reduction and clustering have played essential roles by reducing the dimension and volume to visually manageable scales. In this talk, we present some of the key foundational methods for supervised dimension reduction such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA), dimension reduction and clustering/topic discovery by nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), and visual spatial alignment for effective fusion and comparisons by Orthogonal Procrustes. We demonstrate how these methods can effectively support interactive visual analytic tasks that involve large-scale document and image data sets.","PeriodicalId":126062,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ACM SIGKDD Workshop on Interactive Data Exploration and Analytics","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128806335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper develops an online spatial data analysis and visualization system, TerraFly GeoCloud, which facilitates end users to visualize and analyze spatial data, and to share the analysis results. Built on the TerraFly Geo spatial database, TerraFly GeoCloud is an extra layer running upon the TerraFly map and can efficiently support many different visualization functions and spatial data analysis models. Furthermore, users can create unique URLs to visualize and share the analysis results. TerraFly GeoCloud also enables the MapQL technology to customize map visualization using SQL-like statements.

Examples of such exploratory tasks include: finding communities that exist in the data, comparing results from different graph mining algorithms, identifying regions of similarity or dissimilarity in the data sets, and highlighting nodes with important centrality properties. While many methods, algorithms, and visualizations exist, the capability to apply and combine them for ad-hoc visual exploration or as part of an analytic workflow process is still an open problem that needs to be addressed to help scientists, especially those without extensive programming knowledge. In this paper, we present Invenio-Workflow, a tool that supports exploratory analysis of network data by integrating workflow, querying, data mining, statistics, and visualization to enable scientific inquiry. Invenio-Workflow can be used to create custom exploration tasks, in addition to the standard task templates. After describing the features of the system, we illustrate its utility through several use cases based on networks from different domains.","PeriodicalId":126062,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ACM SIGKDD Workshop on Interactive Data Exploration and Analytics","volume":"410 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129645319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
