Recent Submissions

  • Integrating Predictions in Time Series Model Selection 

    Bögl, Markus; Aigner, Wolfgang; Filzmoser, Peter; Gschwandtner, Theresia; Lammarsch, Tim; Miksch, Silvia; Rind, Alexander (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    Time series appear in many different domains. The main goal in time series analysis is to find a model for given time series. The selection of time series models is done iteratively based, usually, on information criteria ...
  • Exploration and Assessment of Event Data 

    Bodesinsky, Peter; Alsallakh, Bilal; Gschwandtner, Theresia; Miksch, Silvia (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    Event data is generated in many domains, like business process management, industry or healthcare. These datasets are often unstructured, exhibit variant behaviour, and may contain errors. Before applying automated analysis ...
  • Gnaeus: Utilizing Clinical Guidelines for Knowledge-assisted Visualisation of EHR Cohorts 

    Federico, Paolo; Unger, Jürgen; Amor-Amorós, Albert; Sacchi, Lucia; Klimov, Denis; Miksch, Silvia (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    The advanced visualization of electronic health records (EHRs), supporting a scalable analysis from single patients to cohorts, intertwining patients' conditions with executed treatments, and handling the complexity of ...
  • Visual Analytics and Uncertainty: Its Not About the Data 

    MacEachren, Alan M. (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    Uncertainty visualization research has a long history, with contributions from scientific, information, geo-graphic and other visualization perspectives as well as from cognitive and HCI perspectives. But we still do not ...
  • Visual Analysis of Relations in Attributed Time-Series Data 

    Steiger, Martin; Bernard, Jürgen; Schader, Philipp; Kohlhammer, Jörn (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    In this paper, we present visual-interactive techniques for revealing relations between two co-existing multivariate feature spaces. Such data is generated, for example, by sensor networks characterized by a set of ...
  • Trajectory-based Visual Analytics for Anomalous Human Movement Analysis using Social Media 

    Chae, Junghoon; Cui, Yuchen; Jang, Yun; Wang, Guizhen; Malik, Abish; Ebert, David S. (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    The rapid development and increasing availability of mobile communication and location acquisition technologies allow people to add location data to existing social networks so that people share location-embedded information. ...
  • Integrated Spatial Uncertainty Visualization using Off-screen Aggregation 

    Jäckle, Dominik; Senaratne, Hansi; Buchmüller, Juri; Keim, Daniel A. (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    Visualization of spatial data uncertainties is crucial to the data understanding and exploration process. Scientific measurements, numerical simulations, and user generated content are error prone sources that gravely ...
  • Visual-Interactive Text Analysis to Support Political Decision Making - From Sentiments to Arguments to Policies 

    Ruppert, Tobias; Bernard, Jürgen; Lücke-Tieke, Hendrik; May, Thorsten; Kohlhammer, Jörn (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    Political decision making involves the evaluation of alternative solutions (so called policy models) to a given societal problem and the selection of the most promising one. Large amounts of textual information to be ...
  • The Use of High-Dimensional Visualizations in Explaining Hospital Pricing Patterns 

    Perkins, Miriam; Grinstein, Georges (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has made public a data set showing what hospitals charged and what Medicare paid for the one hundred most common inpatient stays. By law payments approximate a hospital's ...
  • Attribute-based Visual Explanation of Multidimensional Projections 

    Silva, Renato R. O. da; Rauber, Paulo E.; Martins, Rafael M.; Minghim, Rosane; Telea, Alexandru C. (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    Multidimensional projections (MPs) are key tools for the analysis of multidimensional data. MPs reduce data dimensionality while keeping the original distance structure in the low-dimensional output space, typically shown ...
  • Visual Scaffolding in Integrated Spatial and Nonspatial Analysis 

    Marai, G. Elisabeta (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    Collaborative visual analytics that feature mixtures of spatial and nonspatial data occur across disciplines, and are particularly common in bioinformatics, neuroscience and geospatial analysis. In this work we analyze, ...
  • Interactive Image Feature Selection Aided by Dimensionality Reduction 

    Rauber, Paulo Eduardo; Silva, Renato Rodrigues Oliveira da; Feringa, Sander; Celebi, M. Emre; Falcão, Alexandre X.; Telea, Alexandru C. (The Eurographics Association, 2015)
    Feature selection is an important step in designing image classification systems. While many automatic feature selection methods exist, most of them are opaque to their users. We consider that users should be able to gain ...
