High-resolution 21-cm HI deep fields provide spatially and kinematically resolved neutral gas maps at different redshifts, which are key to understanding galaxy evolution across cosmic time and testing predictions of cosmological…
Machine learning models fit complex algorithms to arbitrarily large datasets. These algorithms are well-known to be high on performance and low on interpretability. We use interactive visualization of slices of predictor space to address…
The survey speed of ASKAP makes it a prime instrument with which to survey the HI universe, enabling it to carry out both wide surveys of the entire sky, as well as deep surveys covering cosmologically representative volumes. Here, the use…
Exploring data relations across multiple views has been a common task in many domains such as bioinformatics, cybersecurity, and healthcare. To support this, various techniques (e.g., visual links and brushing and linking) are used to show…
Mapping surgery is fundamental to developing operative guidelines and enabling autonomous robotic surgery. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have shown promise in mapping the behaviour of surgeons from videos, yet current…
In this article we introduce PINGSoft, a set of IDL routines designed to visualise and manipulate, in an interactive and friendly way, Integral Field Spectroscopic data. The package is optimised for large databases and a fast visualisation…
We present CluSTAR-ND, a fast hierarchical galaxy/(sub)halo finder that produces {\bf Clu}stering {\bf S}tructure via {\bf T}ransformative {\bf A}ggregation and {\bf R}ejection in {\bf N}-{\bf D}imensions. It is designed to improve upon…
Modern wide-field surveys require robust spatial masks to excise bright-star halos, bleed trails, poor-quality regions, and user-defined geometry at scale. We present Skykatana, an open source pipeline that builds and combines boolean…
Learning dexterous and agile policy for humanoid and dexterous hand control requires large-scale demonstrations, but collecting robot-specific data is prohibitively expensive. In contrast, abundant human motion data is readily available…
The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) will explore the radio sky to new depths in order to conduct transformational science. SKAO data products made available to astronomers will be correspondingly large and complex, requiring the…
Recently, 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as a mainstream rendering technique due to its photorealistic quality and low latency. However, processing massive numbers of non-contributing Gaussian points introduces significant…
Discovering and making sense of relevant research literature is fundamental to becoming knowledgeable in any scientific discipline. Visualization can aid this process; however, existing tools' adoption and impact have often been…
Future deep HI surveys will be essential for understanding the nature of galaxies and the content of the Universe. However, the large volume of these data will require distributed and automated processing techniques. We introduce LiSA, a…
We build upon Ordering Points To Identify Clustering Structure (OPTICS), a hierarchical clustering algorithm well-known to be a robust data-miner, in order to produce Halo-OPTICS, an algorithm designed for the automatic detection and…
While clustering is one of the most popular methods for data mining, analysts lack adequate tools for quick, iterative clustering analysis, which is essential for hypothesis generation and data reasoning. We introduce Clustrophile, an…
Remote sighted assistance (RSA) has emerged as a conversational assistive technology, where remote sighted workers, i.e., agents, provide real-time assistance to users with vision impairments via video-chat-like communication. Researchers…
We present a device, created by us and named Stellector, composed by a laser pointer which is precisely guided by two step motors with the purpose to explore and teach astronomy concepts having the real night sky in the background. The…
Discovering and making sense of relevant literature is fundamental in any scientific field. Node-link diagram-based visualization tools can aid this process; however, existing tools have been evaluated only on small scales. This paper…
