Speaker: Prof. Tobias Schreck (TU Graz, Institut Computer Graphik und Wissensvisualisierung)
Visual Analytics aims to support data analysis and exploration using interactive data visualization, tightly coupled with automatic data analysis methods. In this talk, we will introduce recent research in Visual Analytics at the Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualization at TU Graz. After a brief introduction, we will first present approaches for visual similarity search and regression modeling in time series and scatter plot data, based on user sketches and lenses. Then, we will present approaches for visual analysis of movement data in team sports based on suitable visual data abstractions. In a third part, we will comment on recent research interest for guidance in visual data analysis, and describe our first ideas based on user eye tracking and relevance feedback. A summary concludes the talk.
