While previous work exists on how to conduct and disseminate insights from problem-driven visualization projects design studies, the literature does not address accomplish these goals in transdisciplinary teams ways that advance all disciplines involved. In this paper we introduce define a new methodological paradigm call by immersion, which provides an alternative perspective work. Design immersion embeds experiences at center of process having researchers participate target domain (or...

For the past two years, researchers from visualization community and digital humanities have come together at IEEE VIS conference to discuss how both disciplines can work push research goals in their respective disciplines. In this paper, we present our experiences as a result of collaboration.

In the domain of literary criticism, many critics practice close reading , annotating by hand while performing a detailed analysis single text. Often this process employs use external resources to aid analysis. article, we present study and subsequent tool design focused on leveraging critic’s annotations as implicit interactions for initiating context-specific computational support that automatically searches resources. We observed 14 poetry reading, revealing set cognitive practices...

As ever more advanced digital systems are created, it becomes increasingly likely that some of these will be minds, i.e. subjects experience. With minds comes the risk suffering. The problem suffering is mitigating this risk. We argue a high stakes moral and formidable epistemic obstacles stand in way solving it. then propose strategy for it: Access Monitor Prevent (AMP). AMP uses 'dancing qualia' argument to link functional states certain their experiences—this yields access minds. access,...

Abstract Moods, orthodoxy holds, exist outside the space of reasons. A depressed subject may change their thoughts and behaviors as a result depression. But, according to this view, mood gives them no genuine reason do so. Instead, moods are mere causal influences on cognition. The issue is that moods, with diffuse phenomenology, appear lack intentionality ( Directionlessness ). But appears be necessary condition rationality Content Constraint Together, these principles conflict idea...

Many people are overloaded by the amount of email they receive. Because this, a considerable time can be spent every day managing one's inbox. Previous work has shown that adopt different strategies for their However, there been little examining how choice management strategy impacts total one gives to activities each day. In current study seven academics week trying out strategies: either once-a-day or frequent strategy. Data on and subjective feelings towards were gathered. Results suggest...

Abstract In certain startling neurological and psychiatric conditions, what is ordinarily most intimate familiar to us—our own body—can feel alien. For instance, in cases of somatoparaphrenia subjects misattribute their body parts others, while depersonalization estranged from bodies. These ownership disorders thus appear consist a loss any feeling bodily , the felt sense we have our bodies as own. Against this interpretation disorders, I defend Sufficiency thesis that every experience...

Abstract Bodily pain strikes many philosophers as deeply paradoxical. The issue is that pains seem to bear both physical characteristics, such a location in the body, and mental being mind-dependent. In this paper I clarify address alleged paradox of pain. begin by showing how further assumption, Objectivism, thesis what one feels one’s body when something mind-independent, necessary for generation paradox. Consequently, can be avoided if rejects idea. However, doing so raises its own...

On contrary, for many years been motivated focus could personal injuries and lost time incidents. most severe consequence of these would be one fatality, as compared with tens or hundreds fatalities potentially associated Significant manpower has used both train personnel protect themselves others avoid injuries. This often involves simple actions,...

With this pictorial we present the design process of "The Academia is Tied in Knots", an interactive visualization based on sensitive and qualitative data, namely personal stories reported by people who have experienced sexual harassment academia. We discuss how approached task visualizing sensitive, uncomfortable, yet important topics terms data-mapping visual representation, including appropriateness computational vs. manual approaches to help foreground relevant themes. also describe...

Are we acquainted with the self in experience? It may seem so. After all, tend to be confident our own existence. A natural explanation for this confidence is that somehow shows up experience. Yet philosophers both Eastern and Western philosophical traditions have been sceptical of self-acquaintance. Despite centuries debate, matter remains controversial. But persistence dispute puzzling. Why can not simply settle question by introspection? Here, many hold elusive. Hence, address need use a...

This paper proposes a method for helping users in visual analytic tasks by using machine learning to detect and respond frustration provide appropriate recommendations guidance. We have collected an emotion dataset from 28 participants carrying out intentionally difficult visualization used it build interactive state detection model which detects data streaming small wrist-worn skin conductance device eye tracking. present work-in-progress design exploration interventions different...

Our Mayan Prophecy Adam Bradley (bio) I don't know if you've heard the news, but world is going to end later on this year.
