Ones that I saw that I liked (a lot based on presentation)
- Visual Exploration of Semantic Relationships in Neural Word Embeddings (J)
Authors: Shusen Liu, Peer-Timo Bremer, Jayaraman J. Thiagarajan, Vivek Srikumar, Bei Wang, Yarden Livnat, Valerio Pascucci
Video Preview | DOI
This is a problem we’re working on, so seeing someone else do a nice job on it is particularly interesting. There are a lot of things we don’t have to do now, since this paper invented the solutions. - TreePOD: Sensitivity-Aware Selection of Pareto-Optimal Decision Trees (J)
Authors: Thomas Mühlbacher, Lorenz Linhardt, Torsten Möller, Harald Piringer
Video Preview | DOI - Blinded with Science or Informed by Charts? A Replication Study (J)
Authors: Pierre Dragicevic, Yvonne Jansen
Video Preview | DOI
A famous study fails to replicate – despite a lot of effort to reproduce it. It’s nice to see things we take for granted challenged. I must admit I was surprised. I am not sure who to trust. - Conceptual and Methodological Issues in Evaluating Multidimensional Visualizations for Decision Support (J)
Authors: Evanthia Dimara, Anastasia Bezerianos, Pierre Dragicevic
Video Preview | DOI
A topic I am really interested in – with a first step in thinking about it. It’s testing simple things, but really trying to get at the tasks. - Taking Word Clouds Apart: An Empirical Investigation of the Design Space for Keyword Summaries (J)
Authors: Cristian Felix, Enrico Bertini, Steven Franconeri
Video Preview | DOI - Assessing the Graphical Perception of Time and Speed on 2D + Time Trajectories (J)
Authors: Charles Perin, Tiffany Wun, Richard Pusch, Sheelagh Carpendale
Video Preview | DOI - Progressive Learning of Topic Modeling Parameters: A Visual Analytics Framework (J) (Best Paper Honorable Mention)
Authors: Mennatallah El-Assady, Rita Sevastjanova, Fabian Sperrle, Daniel Keim, Christopher Collins
Video Preview | DOI
I didn’t see the talk – it was the same time as mine. But I spoke to the author and she went through the talk with me. - Nonlinear Dot Plots (J)
Authors: Nils Rodrigues, Daniel Weiskopf
Video Preview | DOI
This is a simple idea that seems quite powerful. I like it because I can imagine using it. - Modeling Color Difference for Visualization Design (J) (Best Paper Award, InfoVis)
Authors: Danielle Albers Szafir
Video Preview | DOI
Admittedly I am biased – Danielle was my student, and I worked on early versions of this stuff. But this is a case where careful consideration of details of how experiments are run allow us to build models that can help with common design decisions.
Ones that I was excited about, saw the presentation and didn’t like as much (this doesn’t include ones that I really didn’t like)
- Visualizing Dataflow Graphs of Deep Learning Models in TensorFlow (J) (Best Paper Award, VAST)
Authors: Kanit Wongsuphasawat, Daniel Smilkov, James Wexler, Jimbo Wilson, Dandelion Mané, Doug Fritz, Dilip Krishnan, Fernanda B. Viégas, Martin Wattenberg
Video Preview | DOI
I don’t doubt this is great work – and worthy of an award. It’s just not about what I thought it was (it’s about tools for manipulating data flow graphs – it really has little to do with ML except that some ML is programmed with way). And it seems like a nice system, but I’m not sure what I am supposed to learn from it (I already know the authors can make nice systems). But I didn’t read the paper. - Visual Diagnosis of Tree Boosting Methods (J)
Authors: Shixia Liu, Jiannan Xiao, Junlin Liu, Xiting Wang, Jing Wu, Jun Zhu
Video Preview | DOI - A Workflow for Visual Diagnostics of Binary Classifiers using Instance-Level Explanations (C)
Authors: Josua Krause, Aritra Dasgupta, Jordan Swartz, Yindalon Aphinyanaphongs, Enrico Bertini
Video Preview - Clustervision: Visual Supervision of Unsupervised Clustering (J)
Authors: Bum Chul Kwon, Ben Eysenbach, Janu Verma, Kenney Ng, Christopher deFilippi, Walter F. Stewart, Adam Perer
Video Preview | DOI
nice system – but not sure what the takeaway messages were - TACO: Visualizing Changes in Tables Over Time (J)
Authors: Christina Niederer, Holger Stitz, Reem Hourieh, Florian Grassinger, Wolfgang Aigner, Marc Streit
Video Preview | DOI
This is a great problem – that surprisingly little has been done with. I am less excited about the solution – I have to think there is something better.
Some that I would have seen, except I was in a different session…
