This work presents a new approach to visually summarize large micro-document collections such as tweets. We extract frequent patterns of phrases as shortened quotes to present analysts an overview of popular snippets and ...

Large threaded conversations, such as those found on YCombinator's HackerNews, are typically presented in a way that shows individual comments clearly, but can obscure larger trends or patterns within the conversational ...

3D heightmaps can be considered as an extension of heatmaps using the third dimension to encode the respective value by height, often in addition to encoding it by color. In contrast to 2D heatmaps, 3D heightmaps allow a ...

Protein molecules, the basic building blocks of all living organisms, are formed by chain sequences of amino acids. Due to internal forces, these chains are folded into a spatial representation with recurring patterns along ...

We present a novel GPU ray-casting algorithm for volume rendering unstructured grid data. We employ the per-pixel intersection list to guarantee accurate results for non-convex meshes. For efficient memory access for the ...

We present our vision and steps toward implementing a collaborative 3D data analysis tool based on wearable Augmented Reality Head-Mounted Display (AR-HMD). We envision a hybrid environment which combines such AR-HMD devices ...

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allows for assessment of tissue metabolite characteristics used often for early detection and treatment evaluation of intracranial pathologies. In particular, this non-invasive technique ...

Lasers play essential role in many areas of both fundamental as well as applied research. Experiments in plasma physics that study complex interactions of intense laser beams with various forms of targets rely heavily not ...

Effective analysis of movement often requires a comprehensive approach where computational and visual methods are combined to address a wide variety of tasks involving movers with diverse characteristics. In order to help ...
