Visual Text Analytics (Dagstuhl Seminar 22191)

Authors: Christopher Collins, Antske Fokkens, Andreas Kerren, Chris Weaver, and Angelos Chatzimparmpas

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 12, Issue 5 (2022)


Abstract
Text data is one of the most abundant types of data available, produced every day across all domains of society. Understanding the contents of this data can support important policy decisions, help us understand society and culture, and improve business processes. While machine learning techniques are growing in their power for analyzing text data, there is still a clear role for human analysis and decision-making. This seminar explored the use of visual analytics applied to text data as a means to bridge the complementary strengths of people and computers. The field of visual text analytics applies visualization and interaction approaches which are tightly coupled to natural language processing systems to create analysis processes and systems for examining text and multimedia data. During the seminar, interdisciplinary working groups of experts from visualization, natural language processing, and machine learning examined seven topic areas to reflect on the state of the field, identify gaps in knowledge, and create an agenda for future cross-disciplinary research. This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 22191 "Visual Text Analytics".

Information Visualization - Towards Multivariate Network Visualization (Dagstuhl Seminar 13201)

Authors: Andreas Kerren, Helen Purchase, and Mathew O. Ward

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 3, Issue 5 (2013)


Abstract
Information Visualization (InfoVis) focuses on the use of visualization techniques to help people understand and analyze large and complex data sets. The aim of this third Dagstuhl Seminar on Information Visualization was to bring together theoreticians and practitioners from Information Visualization, HCI, and Graph Drawing with a special focus on multivariate network visualization, i.e., on graphs where the nodes and/or edges have additional (multidimensional) attributes. To support discussions related to the visualization of real world data, researchers from selected application areas, especially bioinformatics, social sciences, and software engineering, were also invited. During the seminar, working groups on six different topics were formed and enabled a critical reflection on ongoing research efforts, the state of the field in multivariate network visualization, and key research challenges today. This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 13201 "Information Visualization -- Towards Multivariate Network Visualization".

Controlling In-Vehicle Systems with a Commercial EEG Headset: Performance and Cognitive Load

Authors: Daniel Cernea, Peter-Scott Olech, Achim Ebert, and Andreas Kerren

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 27, Visualization of Large and Unstructured Data Sets: Applications in Geospatial Planning, Modeling and Engineering - Proceedings of IRTG 1131 Workshop 2011


Abstract
Humans have dreamed for centuries to control their surroundings solely by the power of their minds. These aspirations have been captured by multiple science fiction creations, such as the Neuromancer novel by William Gibson or the Brainstorm cinematic movie, to name just a few. Nowadays, these dreams are slowly becoming reality due to a variety of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) that detect neural activation patterns and support the control of devices by brain signals. An important field in which BCIs are being successfully integrated is the interaction with vehicular systems. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of BCIs, more specifically a commercial electroencephalographic (EEG) headset in combination with vehicle dashboard systems, and highlight the advantages and limitations of this approach. Further, we investigate the cognitive load that drivers experience when interacting with secondary in-vehicle devices via touch controls or a BCI headset. As in-vehicle systems are increasingly versatile and complex, it becomes vital to capture the level of distraction and errors that controlling these secondary systems might introduce to the primary driving process. Our results suggest that the control with the EEG headset introduces less distraction to the driver, probably as it allows the eyes of the driver to remain focused on the road. Still, the control of the vehicle dashboard by EEG is efficient only for a limited number of functions, after which increasing the number of in-vehicle controls amplifies the detection of false commands.

10241 Executive Summary – Information Visualization

Authors: Andreas Kerren, Catherine Plaisant, and John T. Stasko

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10241, Information Visualization (2010)


Abstract
Information Visualization (InfoVis) focuses on the use of visualization techniques to help people understand and analyze data. While related fields such as Scientific Visualization involve the presentation of data that has some physical or geometric correspondence, Information Visualization centers on abstract information without such correspondences. The aim of this seminar was to bring together theoreticians and practitioners from the field with a special focus on the intersection of InfoVis and Human-Computer Interaction. To support discussions that are related to the visualization of real world data, researchers from selected application areas also attended and contributed. During the seminar, working groups on eight different topics were formed and enabled a critical reflection on ongoing research efforts, the state of the field, and key research challenges today.

Interactive Visualization of Graph Pyramids

Authors: Andreas Kerren

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5191, Graph Drawing (2006)


Abstract
Hierarchies of plane graphs, called graph pyramids, can be used for collecting, storing and analyzing geographical information based on satellite images or other input data. The visualization of graph pyramids facilitates studies about their structure, such as their vertex distribution or height in relation of a specific input image. Thus, a researcher can debug algorithms and ask for statistical information. Furthermore, it improves the better understanding of geographical data, like landscape properties or thematical maps. In this paper, we present an interactive 3D visualization tool that supports several coordinated views on graph pyramids, subpyramids, level graphs, thematical maps, etc. Additionally, some implementation details and application results are discussed.
