{"title":"A Framework for Knowledge-based Interactive Data Exploration","authors":"Jade Goldstein-Stewart, Steven F. Roth, John Kolojejchick, Joe Mattis","doi":"10.1006/jvlc.1994.1020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1006/jvlc.1994.1020","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract In this paper we propose a framework that combines the functionality of data exploration and automatic presentation systems to create a knowledge-based interactive data exploration system. The purpose of a data exploration system is to enable users to uncover and extract relationships hidden in large data sets. The purpose of an automatic presentation system is to reduce the need for users to have graphic design expertise and for them to spend a lot of time interacting with graphics packages to view their data. Previous work on data exploration was limited to query mechanisms that were often complex to learn and difficult to use, data manipulation mechanisms that did not provide complete coverage of the operations needed by users (especially the ability to form ad hoc groupings of data), and graphics that were restricted to a small set of predefined visualizations. Automatic presentation research, although addressing these issues, has been limited to the display of small data sets. Furthermore, this research has not supported interactive, user-directed processes of design and data manipulation in automatic presentation systems. We propose a framework that overcomes these limitations of current data exploration systems and integrates new interactive capabilities with automatic presentation components. This approach to supporting data exploration integrates recent work on SageTools, an environment for interactive and automatic presentation design, with a prototypical interactive data manipulation system called IDES. In this paper we present our work on the IDES data manipulation capabilities and discuss requirements for coordinating them with automatic presentation of large data sets.","PeriodicalId":275847,"journal":{"name":"J.

However, the overloading of three letters on a single key creates a potential ambiguity as to which character was intended, which must be resolved for unambiguous text entry. Existing systems all use pairs of keypresses to spell out single key letters, but are extremely cumbersome and frustrating to use.\u0000Instead, we propose single-stroke text entry on telephone keypads, with the ambiguity resolved by exploiting information-theoretic constraints. We develop algorithms capable of correctly identifying up to 99% of the characters in typical English text, sufficient for such applications as telephones for the hearing impaired, E-mail without a terminal, and advanced voice-response systems.","PeriodicalId":275847,"journal":{"name":"J.

The intermediate layout is planar for planar graphs and attempts to come close to planar for nonplanar graphs. The system's results are significantly better, and much faster, than what the annealing approach is able to achieve on its own.","PeriodicalId":275847,"journal":{"name":"J. Vis. Lang.

The basic map data structure to which Graquala has been adapted is a homogeneous raster-based structure of run-length-code (RLC) type. Because of the homogeneity of the map data structure, queries can be applied in a more or less generic way; that is, queries can be applied to all map data regardless of their type. For this reason it has been possible to design a visual data-flow query language that allows compound queries which can become quite complex. In this work, Graqula and some elements of its environment, including a brief overview of the basic map data structure, will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":275847,"journal":{"name":"J. Vis. Lang.

In making this definition a distinction is made between languages which are fundamentally sensory and those which are fundamentally conventional . Experimental semiotics is concerned with the former. Sensory representations are good (or bad) because they are well matched to the early stages of neural processing of sensory information. They tend to be stable across individuals and cultures. Conversely, conventional languages gain their power from culture and are dependent on the particular cultural milieu of an individual. This theoretical distinction provides a basis for testable predictions about the ease of learning for languages in the two classes. The examples given are mostly based on the visual modality, but the distinction also applies to other sensory modalities. Methods for testing claims about sensory versus conventional languages are discussed.","PeriodicalId":275847,"journal":{"name":"J. Vis. Lang.

In order to engage progress in the research of leisure sports in China over the past 20 years and contribute a new angle and direction to the research of leisure sports in China, this paper summarizes the internal and external characteristics of the country’s leisure sports research. The data visualization software CiteSpace5.0 is applied to provide a macro analysis of the development of China’s leisure sports research over the past 20 years. This method has not been applied to research of this kind before, and this reiterates the innovative character of this paper. It achieves this by extracting the 1998-2017 leisure sports literature from the CSSCI database before applying bibliometric Visual Analysis Software CiteSpace 5.0 to this material. It finds that the momentum of the development of the county’s leisure sports is positive, and observes the initial establishment of a cooperation network. However, it also highlights a number of problems, which include the insufficient depth of disciplinary research, the lack of interdisciplinary research results (as shown by the adoption of a single research paradigm) and the neglect of frontier issues.","PeriodicalId":275847,"journal":{"name":"J.
