This often includes a variety of modeling techniques among which, complex, black-box models. The path from model development to utilization in applied contexts is yet long. Domain experts need to be convinced of the validity of the models and to trust their predictions. To be used in the field, model capabilities need to be affordable, that is, allow rapid and interactive scenario building, even for non-experts. Complex relations governed by statistical interactions must be unveiled for users to understand unexpected predictions. We propose Interact, a model-agnostic, visual what-if tool for regression problems, supporting (1) the visualization of statistical interactions between features, (2) the creation of interactive what-if scenarios using predictive models, (3) the evaluation of model quality and building trust, and (4) the externalization of knowledge through model explainability. While the approach applies in various industrial contexts, we validate the application purpose and design with a detailed case study and a qualitative user study with engineers in the tire industry. By unraveling statistical interactions between features, the INTERACT tool proves to be useful to increase the transparency of black-box machine learning models. We also reflect on lessons learned concerning the development of visual what-if tools for virtual product development and beyond.","PeriodicalId":50360,"journal":{"name":"Information Visualization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139143626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, an inherent drawback arises from the insufficient evaluation of VAS, resulting in occasional inaccuracies when it comes to analytical reasoning, information synthesis, and deriving insights from vast, ever-changing, ambiguous, and frequently contradictory data. Hence, the significance of implementing an appropriate evaluation methodology cannot be overstated, as it plays a pivotal role in enhancing the design and development of visualization systems. This paper assesses visualization systems by providing a systematic exploration of various evaluation strategies (ES). While several existing studies have examined some ES, the extent of comprehensive and systematic review for visualization research remains limited. In this work, we introduce seven state-of-the-art and widely recognized ES namely (1) dashboard comparison; (2) insight-based evaluation; (3) log data analysis; (4) Likert scales; (5) qualitative and quantitative analysis; (6) Nielsen’s heuristics; and (7) eye trackers. Moreover, it delves into their historical context and explores numerous applications where these ES have been employed, shedding light on the associated evaluation practices. Through our comprehensive review, we overview and analyze the predominant evaluation goals within the visualization community, elucidating their evolution and the inherent contrasts. Additionally, we identify the open challenges that arise with the emergence of new ES, while also highlighting the key themes gleaned from the existing literature that hold potential for further exploration in future studies.","PeriodicalId":50360,"journal":{"name":"Information Visualization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139150051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is one of the most pervasive and robust biases. Recently, literature has focused on knowing how influential the anchoring effect is when applied to information visualization, with studies finding its reproducibility in the field. Despite the extensive literature surrounding the anchoring effect’s robustness, there is still a need for research on which individual differences make people more susceptible. We explore how Locus of Control influences visualization’s ubiquitous and resilient anchoring effect. Locus of Control differentiates individuals who believe their life depends on their behavior or actions from those who blame outside factors such as destiny or luck for their life’s outcomes. We focus on the relationship between Locus of Control and the anchoring effect by exposing subjects to an anchor and analyzing their interaction with a complex visualization. Our results show that the anchoring strategies primed individuals and suggest that the Locus of Control plays a role in the susceptibility to the anchoring effect.","PeriodicalId":50360,"journal":{"name":"Information Visualization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139240023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose lodestar, an interactive computational notebook that allows users to quickly explore and construct new data science workflows by selecting from a list of automated analysis recommendations. We derive our recommendations from directed graphs of known analysis states, with two input sources: one manually curated from online data science tutorials, and another extracted through semi-automatic analysis of a corpus of over 6000 Jupyter notebooks. We validated Lodestar through three separate user studies: first a formative evaluation involving novices learning data science using the tool. We used the feedback from this study to improve the tool. This was followed by a summative study involving both new and returning participants from the formative evaluation to test the efficacy of our improvements. We also engaged professional data scientists in an expert review assessing the utility of the different recommendations. Overall, our results suggest that both novice and professional users find Lodestar useful for rapidly creating data science workflows.","PeriodicalId":50360,"journal":{"name":"Information Visualization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42209321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead, they appear in people’s fields of view during an ongoing primary task. They differ from glanceable visualizations because the information is not received on demand, and they differ from ambient visualizations because the information is not continuously embedded in the environment. However, current graphical perception guidelines do not consider situations where information is presented at specific moments during brief exposure times without being the user’s primary focus. Therefore, we conducted a crowdsourced user study with 99 participants to understand how accurate people’s incidental graphical perception is. Each participant was tested on one of the three conditions: position of dots, length of lines, and angle of lines. We varied the number of elements for each combination and the display time. During the study, participants were asked to perform reproduction tasks, where they had to recreate a previously shown stimulus in each. Our results indicate that incidental graphical perception can be accurate when using position, length, and angles. Furthermore, we argue that incidental visualizations should be designed for low exposure times (between 300 and 1000 ms).","PeriodicalId":50360,"journal":{"name":"Information Visualization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46344190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They will always appear side-by-side with an ongoing primary task while providing ancillary information relevant to those tasks. They differ from glanceable visualizations because looking at them is never their major focus, and they differ from ambient visualizations because they are not embedded in the environment, but appear when needed. However, unlike glanceable and ambient visualizations that have been studied in the past, incidental visualizations have yet to be explored in-depth. In particular, it is still not clear what is their impact on the users’ performance of primary tasks. Therefore, we conducted an empirical online between-subjects user study where participants had to play a maze game as their primary task. Their goal was to complete several mazes as quickly as possible to maximize their score. This game was chosen to be a cognitively demanding task, bound to be significantly affected if incidental visualizations have a meaningful impact. At the same time, they had to answer a question that appeared while playing, regarding the path followed so far. Then, for half the participants, an incidental visualization was shown for a short period while playing, containing information useful for answering the question. We analyzed various metrics to understand how the maze performance was impacted by the incidental visualization. Additionally, we aimed to understand if working memory would influence how the maze was played and how visualizations were perceived. We concluded that incidental visualizations of the type used in this study do not disrupt people while they played the maze as their primary task. Furthermore, our results strongly suggested that the information conveyed by the visualization improved their performance in answering the question. Finally, working memory had no impact on the participants’ results.","PeriodicalId":50360,"journal":{"name":"Information Visualization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46974064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, advanced visualization approaches are needed to support the investigation of such structures, and several network visualization tools have subsequently been developed to help researchers analyze intricate biological networks. While these tools support a range of analytical and interactive features, it is sometimes unclear to a data analyst or visualization designer which features are of most relevance to biologists. Thus, this study investigates and identifies essential factors for the visualization of complex biological networks using a mixed methodology approach. Based on the findings, essential factors were categorized as either generic and heuristic, where the former concern different analytical and interactive functionalities, such as an efficient layout, advanced search capabilities, plugin availability, graph analysis and user-friendliness, while the latter concern usability, such as information coding, flexibility, orientation and help.1 Furthermore, the findings indicate that 12 of the 15 generic factors identified were moderately important, while all 10 heuristic factors identified herein were moderately important.","PeriodicalId":50360,"journal":{"name":"Information Visualization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44908611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a large volume of credit transactions is generated daily alongside a potential increase in this information with the advent of Open Finance, it is challenging to monitor this information quickly so we can act in case these models lose performance. Considering this context, our research aims to provide a Visual Analytics approach to assist in monitoring credit models. For this, initially, we carried out a systematic review of the literature on the subject and conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 domain experts. Considering the needs raised with this study, we created a prototype called Visual Analytics for monitoring Credit Scoring models (VACS). The main contributions of this work are twofold: The requirements gathered through interviews with specialists, which allowed the analysis of how the models are monitored within financial institutions, something that is not disclosed and that can help in the standardization of the monitoring process; and VACS, which was evaluated by four domain experts who considered it a very complete and easy-to-use tool.","PeriodicalId":50360,"journal":{"name":"Information Visualization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135672678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
