The new age of digital growth has marked all fields. This technological evolution has impacted data flows which have witnessed a rapid expansion over the last decade that makes the data traditional processing unable to catch up with the…
For decades, the growth and volume of digital data collection has made it challenging to digest large volumes of information and extract underlying structure. Coined 'Big Data', massive amounts of information has quite often been gathered…
Data visualizations are powerful tools for communicating patterns in quantitative data. Yet understanding any data visualization is no small feat -- succeeding requires jointly making sense of visual, numerical, and linguistic inputs…
Twitter is one of the popular social media platforms where people share news or reactions towards an event or topic using short text messages called "tweets". Emotion analysis in these tweets can play a vital role in understanding peoples'…
Counterfactuals -- expressing what might have been true under different circumstances -- have been widely applied in statistics and machine learning to help understand causal relationships. More recently, counterfactuals have begun to…
Efficient explorative data analysis systems must take into account both what a user knows and wants to know. This paper proposes a principled framework for interactive visual exploration of relations in data, through views most informative…
Data scientists across disciplines are increasingly in need of exploratory analysis tools for data sets with a high volume of features of mixed data type (quantitative continuous and discrete categorical). We introduce Sirius, a novel…
Source attribution aims to enhance the reliability of AI-generated answers by including references for each statement, helping users validate the provided answers. However, existing work has primarily focused on text-only scenario and…
Simulation ensembles are a common tool in physics for understanding how a model outcome depends on input parameters. We analyze an active particle system, where each particle can use energy from its surroundings to propel itself. A…
Interactive visualizations can accelerate the data analysis loop through near-instantaneous feedback. To achieve interactivity, techniques such as data cubes and sampling are typically employed. While data cubes can speedup querying for…
We propose a regularized factor-augmented vector autoregressive (FAVAR) model that allows for sparsity in the factor loadings. In this framework, factors may only load on a subset of variables which simplifies the factor identification and…
We introduce a design study process model for medical visualization based on the analysis of existing medical visualization and visual analysis works, and our own interdisciplinary research experience. With a literature review of related…
Visualisation is often presented as a means of simplifying information and helping people understand complex data. In this paper we describe the design, development and evaluation of an interactive visualisation for spreadsheet formulae…
Despite recent progress in artificial intelligence and machine learning, many state-of-the-art methods suffer from a lack of explainability and transparency. The ability to interpret the predictions made by machine learning models and…
Many scientific questions in biomedical, environmental, and psychological research involve understanding the effects of multiple factors on outcomes. While factorial experiments are ideal for this purpose, randomized controlled treatment…
Online user studies of visualizations, visual encodings, and interaction techniques are ubiquitous in visualization research. Yet, designing, conducting, and analyzing studies effectively is still a major burden. Although various packages…
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has gained importance in interpreting model predictions. Among leading techniques for XAI, Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) is most frequently utilized as it notably helps…
As one of the most important affective signals, facial affect analysis (FAA) is essential for developing human-computer interaction systems. Early methods focus on extracting appearance and geometry features associated with human affects…
In each of the last five years, a few dozen empirical studies appeared in visualization journals and conferences. The existing empirical studies have already featured a large number of variables. There are many more variables yet to be…
Factor analysis aims to describe high dimensional random vectors by means of a small number of unknown common factors. In mathematical terms, it is required to decompose the covariance matrix $\Sigma$ of the random vector as the sum of a…
