There are numerous categories of set visualizations, each with their own particular representation of sets using areas, lines, matrices, etc. All these existing visualizations, however, represent sets statically in time, without much consideration for comparisons of set cardinalities and relationships across time. In this paper, we describe a new visualization, called time-sets, which has been designed to support temporal comparisons of set cardinalities and their relationships. We also present a comparative case study of articles published by several online news sources over a period of time, to demonstrate the application of time-sets in this novel area using a prototype visualization tool we have developed for this specific purpose.","PeriodicalId":312162,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129601151","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}

The design of the glyphs, or letterforms, that compose the logotypes, is influenced by data on the current spectrum of students in each faculty. Overall, the created logotypes are able to provide a layer of information by visualising and comparing the number, gender, and nationality of the students in the different faculties. Plus, the generative process that designs the logotypes allows them to react to the input data in an automatically fashion and, this way, be alive and evolve over time.","PeriodicalId":312162,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127500458","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}

Especially the identification of recurring error patterns is important, because these patterns can be an indicator of systematic production issues. We present a visual analytics approach to analyze event reports of a production line. Reported events are shown as a time series plot that can be decomposed into a trend, seasonal, and remainder component by applying Seasonal Trend decomposition using Loess (STL). To find specific event patterns, the data is filtered based on aspects such as the event description or the processed product. Identified temporal patterns can be extracted from the original event series and compared visually with each other. In addition to predefined settings, experts can define a subseries of the event series and the period length of STL’s seasonal component through an automatically optimized brushing of the undecomposed plot. We developed the approach together with an industry partner. To evaluate our approach, we conducted two pair analytics sessions with our industry partner’s experts. We demonstrate use cases from these sessions that showcase our approach’s analytical potential. Moreover, we present general expert feedback that we collected through semi-structured interviews after the pair analytics sessions.","PeriodicalId":312162,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130766704","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}

In the field of Biology, data visualization is used to better understand processes that range from phylogenetic trees to multiple layers of molecular networks. The latter is especially challenging due to the large quantities of varying elements and complex relationships, often with no perceptible structure. Although various tools have been proposed to improve the visualization of molecular networks, many challenges still persist. In this paper, we propose a tool that uses interactive visualization models to represent the dynamic behaviors of molecular networks. The tool employs various methods to explore and organize the data, including clustering, force-directed layouts, and a timeline for navigating through time-series data. To further analyze temporal attributes, the timeline can be distorted through a force-directed layout to spatially position time points according to their similarity. Additionally, gene expression can be annotated through an integrated biological database. The visualization model was validated with the use of time-series gene expression RNA-Seq data from the HIV-1 infection.","PeriodicalId":312162,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121840425","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 arrangement of data originates in the relational table by formalizing the so-called parent-child data relations located between two attributes. A well-defined SQL SELECT statement, motivated by theoretical mathematics, establishes a uniform pattern of data relations in the table that has a tree structure. This query both exposes these data relations as well as models them. Program logic operates on these models to enable tree structures to expand and grow computationally. Labels on the nodes of these trees allow end-users to visualize the table's data content. An early form of artificial intelligence (AI) generalizes this data relationship beyond the database table. It uses brute force to verify that another type of Branching Data Model exists between the tables in a database system. The former type of data model is a conceptual model; it organizes the data contained in a database table into menu data for an end-user navigation interface. The latter is a linkage model that connects tables throughout the database system. Together, these two types of Branching Data Models enable program logic to generate database applications entirely by automation. This end-user applications are data-driven. They allow end-users to locate information in a database by visualizing its data content.","PeriodicalId":312162,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122519472","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 stems from related work known as TuneGraph which uses a melodic similarity measure to derive a proximity graph representing relationships between tunes in the abc corpus, and which allows users of abcnotation.com to explore melodic similarity. As it stands TuneGraph only gives a localised view of the melodic relationships: this paper aims to look at exploring those relationships at a global (corpus-based) level via a prototype visualisation tool.

Originally, Time-tunnel is a multidimensional data visualization tool and it was extended to support Parallel Coordinates called PCTT(Parallel Coordinates version of Time-tunnel). Furthermore, as its aspects of 3D Parallel Coordinates, 2Dto2D visualization functionality was added. Although PCTT can visualize network data because IP packets consist of many attributes and such multiple-attributes data can be visualized using Parallel Coordinates, 2Dto2D visualization functionality can more effectively visualize patterns of IP packets that seem network attacks. The authors have already proposed the combinatorial use of PCTT and 2Dto2D visualization for the intrusion detection of the Internet. This paper also introduces Spline Parallel Coordinates representation as one of the new features of PCTT. The authors also proposed the use of PCTT for learning analytics by visualizing leaners' learning activity data and introduced 3D mode into PCTT to visualize each learner's learning pattern more efficiently. This 3D mode is regarded as 3D Parallel Coordinates. However, because such 3D mode was not enough to distinguish each learner's leaning pattern, the authors implemented more effective 3D mode, and clarify the usefulness of the new 3D mode by showing visualization results.","PeriodicalId":312162,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116713871","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}
