Correlation-based embedding of complex data relationships in a Euclidean space is studied. The proposed soft formulation of Kendall correlation allows for gradient-based optimization of scatter point neighborhood relationships ...

A linear system is a fundamental building block for several mesh-based computer graphics applications such as simulation, shape deformation, virtual surgery, and fluid/smoke animation, among others. Nevertheless, such a ...

The animation of actors and objects is considered in the framework of knowledge representation, with particular regard to motor knowledge. In our opinion, a formal model for motor knowledge should fill a gap between action ...

Owing to the lack of accessibility of postpartum rooms nowadays, which are needed to teach the correct assessment of newborn health status to medical students, virtual reality and simulation are increasingly used for ...

Abstract We present NEREx, an interactive visual analytics approach for the exploratory analysis of verbatim conversational transcripts. By revealing different perspectives on multi-party conversations, NEREx gives an entry ...

We investigate the use of neural fields for modeling diverse mesoscale structures, such as fur, fabric, and grass. Instead of using classical graphics primitives to model the structure, we propose to employ a versatile ...

In this paper, we present a new workflow for the computer-aided generation of physicalizations, addressing nested configurations in anatomical and biological structures. Physicalizations are an important component of ...

Journalists need visual interfaces that cater to the exploratory nature of their investigative activities. In this paper, we report on a four-year design study with data journalists. The main result is netflower, a visual ...

Security and quality are main concerns for private and public financial institutions. Data mining techniques based on the profiles of customers of a financial institution are commonly used to avoid fraud and financial ...
