To reach this goal, we designed a visual analytics approach composed of typical stages and processes, combining algorithmic analysis, visualization techniques, the human users with their perceptual abilities, as well as interaction methods for both the data analysis and the visualization component. By our algorithmic analysis, we first generate a multivariate dataset where words build the cases and the individual text sources the attributes. Real-valued relevances express the significances of each word in each of the text sources. From the visualization perspective, we describe how this multivariate dataset can be visualized to generate, confirm, rebuild, refine, or reject hypotheses with the goal to derive meaning, knowledge, and insights from several text sources. We discuss benefits and drawbacks of the visualization approaches when analyzing word relevances in multiple texts.","PeriodicalId":410876,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127610698","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 Open Community Runtime (OCR) proposal uses a task-based programming model to target some of these architectures. In OCR, the whole program from start to end needs to be expressed using tasks and synchronized using task-to-task dependences, significantly limiting the applicability and usefulness of existing approaches to application development and debugging. In this paper, we present our approach to visualizing tasks and their synchronization, based on trace data from application execution. This way, the application developer may compare the intended organization of the tasks with the actual dependences as they are seen by the OCR runtime system.","PeriodicalId":410876,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134137980","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}

TDA is a model-free approach in which relations are obtained directly from the data. We build the dynamics of the system into the topology, then calculate the influence of potential regulatory genes over the expression of other genes. An interactive 3D visualization is provided to aid in the discovery of functional relationships. These capabilities are contained in a new R package. We apply our technique to synthetic data from the DREAM4 gene regulatory network inference challenge and compare our results to both the challenge submissions and those produced by networkBMA, a Bioconductor package designed to work with time series gene expression data. A case study is presented detailing the use of the visual analytics tool.","PeriodicalId":410876,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121153873","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}

History of Architecture represents from this standpoint a perfect example of how new digital tools and approaches can help to disclose novel research opportunities.

However, it requires that many cases of incidents be collected as target data. The purpose of this study was to develop a method that supports the collection of many cases of anomalous (near-miss) approach from massive movement data. To achieve this, a relative superposition method is proposed. Relative superposition is a type of visualization method, in which the trajectories of pairs of moving objects are transformed, focusing on their relative positional relationships. The method is expected to facilitate the search for anomalous approach cases. This paper describes five types of relative superposition, together with a visual tool in which they are implemented. Moreover, it presents a case study in which anomalous approach cases of ships were searched by applying the tool to actual the automatic identification system (AIS) data.","PeriodicalId":410876,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132231522","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}
