VISHIEN-MAAT: Scrollytelling visualization design for explaining Siamese Neural Network concept to non-technical users
Abstract
The past decade has witnessed rapid progress in AI research since the breakthrough in deep learning. AI technology has been applied in almost every field; therefore, technical and non-technical end-users must understand these technologies to exploit them. However existing materials are designed for experts, but non-technical users need appealing materials that deliver complex ideas in easy-to-follow steps. One notable tool that fits such a profile is scrollytelling, an approach to storytelling that provides readers with a natural and rich experience at the reader's pace, along with in-depth interactive explanations of complex concepts. Hence, this work proposes a novel visualization design for creating a scrollytelling that can effectively explain an AI concept to non-technical users. As a demonstration of our design, we created a scrollytelling to explain the Siamese Neural Network for the visual similarity matching problem. Our approach helps create a visualization valuable for a short-timeline situation like a sales pitch. The results show that the visualization based on our novel design helps improve non-technical users' perception and machine learning concept knowledge acquisition compared to traditional materials like online articles.
