Many processes, from gene interaction in biology to computer networks social media, can be modeled more precisely as temporal hypergraphs than by regular graphs. This is because generalize graphs extending edges connect any number of vertices, allowing complex relationships described accurately and predict their behavior over time. However, the interactive exploration seamless refinement such hypergraph-based prediction models still pose a major challenge. We contribute Hyper-Matrix, novel...

Leveraging hypergraph structures to model advanced processes has gained much attention over the last few years in many areas, ranging from protein-interaction computational biology image retrieval using machine learning. Hypergraph models can provide a more accurate representation of underlying while reducing overall number links compared regular representations. However, interactive visualization methods for hypergraphs and hypergraph-based have rarely been explored or systematically...

Categorical data does not have an intrinsic definition of distance or order, and therefore, established visualization techniques for categorical only allow a set-based frequency-based analysis, e.g., through Euler diagrams Parallel Sets, do support similarity-based analysis. We present novel dimensionality reduction-based data, which is based on defining the two items as number varying attributes. Our technique enables users to pre-attentively detect groups similar observe properties...

Digital systems for analyzing human communication data have become prevalent in recent years. This may be related to the increasing abundance of that can harnessed but hardly managed manually. Intelligence analysis communications investigative journalism, criminal intelligence, and law present particularly interesting cases, as they must take into account often highly sensitive properties underlying operations data. At same time, these are areas where increasingly automated, sophisticated...

Communication consists of both meta-information as well content. Currently, the automated analysis such data often focuses either on network aspects via social or content, utilizing methods from text-mining. However, first category approaches does not leverage rich content information, while latter ignores conversation environment and temporal evolution, evident in meta-information. In contradiction to communication research, which stresses importance a holistic approach, are rarely applied...

Visual network exploration is essential in numerous disciplines, including biology, digital humanities, and cyber security. Prior research has shown that immersive, stereoscopic 3D can enhance spatial comprehension accuracy exploring node-link diagrams. However, graphs present challenges, node occlusion edge crossings, which necessitate continual manual perspective adjustments. We introduce a virtual reality (VR) framework assists users navigating to optimal viewing points based on their...

Abstract While there are many visualization techniques for exploring numeric data, only a few work with categorical data. One prominent example is Parallel Sets, showing data frequencies instead of points ‐ analogous to parallel coordinates numerical As nominal does not have an intrinsic order, the design Sets sensitive visual clutter due overlaps, crossings, and subdivision ribbons hindering readability pattern detection. In this paper, we propose set quality metrics, called ParSetgnostics...
