    • Natural Language Interfaces for Data Analysis with Visualization: Considering What Has and Could Be Asked 

      Srinivasan, Arjun; Stasko, John T. (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Natural language is emerging as a promising interaction paradigm for data analysis with visualization. Designing and implementing Natural Language Interfaces (NLIs) is a challenging task, however. In addition to being able ...
    • Nodes, Paths, and Edges: Using Mental Maps to Augment Crime Data Analysis in Urban Spaces 

      Godwin, Alex; Stasko, John T. (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Citizen participation can provide valuable insight into data that is not captured by official sources. In this paper, we propose a technique for using mental maps consisting of three fundamental elements: nodes, paths, and ...

    • PubViz: Lightweight Visual Presentation of Publication Data 

      Rind, Alexander; Haberson, Andrea; Blumenstein, Kerstin; Niederer, Christina; Wagner, Markus; Aigner, Wolfgang (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Publications play a central role in presenting the outcome of scientific research but are typically presented as textual lists, whereas related work in visualization of publication focuses on exploration - not presentation. ...
    • Readability and Precision in Pictorial Bar Charts 

      Skau, Drew; Kosara, Robert (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Bar charts embellished with unique artistic styles, or made to look like real objects, are common in information graphics. Embellishments are typically considered detrimental to readability and accuracy, since they add ...
    • Reflections on an Experiment, Evaluating the Impact of Spatialisation on Exploration 

      Roux, Clement; McAuley, John (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      This paper reports on an experiment designed to evaluate whether visualising a digital library (using a spatialisation technique) can influence exploratory search behaviour. In the experiment we asked participants to ...
    • Scale-Adaptive Placement of Hierarchical Map Labels 

      Wu, Hsiang-Yun; Takahashi, Shigeo; Poon, Sheung-Hung; Arikawa, Masatoshi (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Nowadays, digital map services provide a large amount of spatial data and thus facilitate users to dynamically navigate map contents across multiple scales on small mobile devices. In this context, consistently placing map ...
    • Scoped: Visualising the Scope Chain Within Source Code 

      Bacher, Ivan; Namee, Brian Mac; Kelleher, John D. (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      This paper presents an interactive visualisation tool that encodes the scope chain, and information related to the scope chain, within source code. The main goal of the tool is to support programmers when dealing with ...
    • The Situation Universe: Visualizing the Semantics of Integrated Data Structures 

      Karer, Benjamin; Fernández-Prieto, Diana; Hagen, Hans (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      The efficient extraction and communication of information in heterogeneous data domains is a major challenge in the context of the ongoing digitalization efforts in industry and in the public sector. The heterogeneity of ...
    • Spatial Interaction for the Post-Processing of 3D CFD Datasets 

      Niebling, Florian (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Virtual Reality visualizations are often used for the evaluation of three-dimensional datasets generated by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations. Several different tracked devices, such as pointers or data gloves, ...
    • Spatiotemporal Visualization of Gene Expression in the Developing Mouse Brain 

      Li, Qihang; Huang, Kun; Machiraju, Raghu (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Exploring and visualizing the spatiotemporal fold change of gene expression is an increasingly important challenge especially in structures as the developing brain. Focusing on the Allen Developing Mouse Brain data, we ...
    • A Stream Ribbon Seeding Strategy 

      Rees, Dylan; Laramee, Robert S.; Nguyen, Duong; Zhang, Lei; Chen, Guoning; Yeh, Harry; Zhang, Eugene (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Streamline seeding algorithms have a long and rich history dating back over two decades. And in recent years algorithms for stream surface placement have been developed. However, stream ribbons have been generally overlooked. ...
    • TexTile: A Pixel-Based Focus+Context Tool For Analyzing Variants Across Multiple Text Scales 

      Asokarajan, Bharathi; Etemadpour, Ronak; Abbas, June; Huskey, Sam; Weaver, Chris (The Eurographics Association, 2017)
      Before the advent of printed texts, text duplication was done primarily by hand. Errors, alterations, and erasures were common and varied widely across different copies of the same text. Classics scholars seek to reconstruct ...
