We consider the inner characteristics extracted by the network just before the classification layers. We build a neighborhood graph from this vector space by connecting data together according to specific topological properties. We define typical examples of topological anomalies to be detected (isolated points, erroneous points, class boundaries). Then we propose a visualization of this graph highlighting this information and offering an overview of the graph (groups of data) as well as local details (fine topological properties). This visualization includes a representation of the images in order to let the user understand what can cause an error (errors during image acquisition, pre-processing or labeling, or errors due to the choice of the network or the learning parameters, etc.). We perform several tests with the VGG16 network on samples of standard datasets.","PeriodicalId":380260,"journal":{"name":"2021 25th International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130976670","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 this work, we propose a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) network system, called Human Proteins Angles Prediction (HPAP), in order to improve the prediction of dihedral angles of proteins. We have introduced a discrete subdivision in classes of 5° for protein torsion angles and four new features related to accessible surface area and volume. In total there are 73 classes (72 classes include the angles between -180° and 180°, a further class is used to code the free angles at the beginning of the sequence) with a maximum expected error of ±2.5°. We have tested three model variants in several parameter combinations. With our model, we have obtained a decrease of the mean absolute error of about 2° for the $psi$ angle. Although our dataset is reduced in size, the accuracy of $varphi$ and $psi$ angles is comparable to the existing methods. Predicting angles accurately is useful for accurately reconstructing the three-dimensional structure of a protein. In this context, the prediction is limited to the $varphi$ and $psi$ angles and we will visualize what happens locally when a prediction is correct. In case the prediction is far from true angles, even a small error can deconstruct the backbone.","PeriodicalId":380260,"journal":{"name":"2021 25th International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125256761","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}

We propose a visualization interface to assist the rule selection process and evaluate it on an RDF knowledge graph derived from the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset. The user interface supports data exploration with focus on the overview of rules through a scatter plot, subsets of rules through a chord diagram chart, and itemsets through an association graph which is dynamically created by entering an item of interest (i.e. a named entity). Further, the analyst can interactively recover a list of publications containing the named entities involved in a particular rule. Among the original aspects of our approach, we highlight the representation of attributes describing measures of interest (i.e. confidence and interestingness), a visual indication of existence (or not) of symmetry in association rules, the exploration of subsets of rules according to clusters of publications and named entities, and an interactive prompting that aims at expanding the discovery of named entities within selected association rules. We assess our approach through a semi-structured interview involving experts in the domains of data mining and biomedicine, whose feedback could assist the refinement of the visual and interaction tools.","PeriodicalId":380260,"journal":{"name":"2021 25th International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124912521","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}

To do so, the common way is to conduct user evaluations through which human subjects are asked to solve a task on different visualization techniques while their performances are measured to assess which technique is the most efficient. These evaluations can be complex to design and setup in order not to be biased and, in the end, their results can become contestable when the evaluation methods standards evolve. To overcome these flaws, new evaluation methods are emerging, mostly making use of modern and efficient computer vision techniques such as deep learning. These new methods rely on a strong assumption that has not been studied deeply enough yet: humans and deep learning models performances can be correlated. This paper explores the performances of both a state-of-the-art deep neural network and human subjects on an outlier detection task taken from a previous experiment of the literature. The objective is to study whether the machine and humans behaviors were different or if some correlations can be observed. Our study shows that their results are significantly correlated and a machine learning model efficiently learned to predict human performances using deep neural network metrics as input. Hence, this work presents a use case where using a deep neural network to assess human subjects performances is efficient.","PeriodicalId":380260,"journal":{"name":"2021 25th International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127709986","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 recent years, the initiates of open data also led to the willingness of many government, researchers, and organizations to share their data and make them publicly accessible. An example of open big data is healthcare, disease and epidemiological data such as privacy-preserving statistics on patients who suffered from epidemic diseases like the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Analyzing these open big data can be for social good. For instance, analyzing and mining the disease statistics helps people to get a better understanding of the disease, which may inspire them to take part in preventing, detecting, controlling and combating the disease. As “a picture is worth a thousand words”, having the pictorial representation further enhances people’s understanding of the data and the corresponding results for the analysis and mining. Hence, in this paper, we present a visual data science solution for the visualization and visual analytics of big sequential data. We illustrate the ideas through the visualization and visual analytics of sequences of real-life COVID-19 epidemiological data. Our solution enables people to visualize COVID-19 epidemiological data and their temporal trends. It also allows people to visually analyze the data and discover relationships among popular features associated with the COVID-19 cases. Evaluation of these real-life sequential COVID-19 epidemiological data demonstrates the effectiveness of our visual data science solution in enhancing user experience in the visualization and visual analytics of big sequential data.","PeriodicalId":380260,"journal":{"name":"2021 25th International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"36 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121014636","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 attribution of visual context in the visualization of these trajectories may help in the perception of knowledge in the hidden structures of the data.

We propose in this paper a process of annotation in the context of exploration that leads to labeled vectors-of-interest and enables finding similar publications based on interest vectors.

Also, the duration of appearance of the significant difference between the various levels of the groups depends on the number of levels.
