The visualanalytics system ClockPetals aims to reveal the spatio-temporal and sequential patterns of a large traffic record dataset. The system features appealing interactive web graphics that fast illustrate traffic patterns and allow users to locate unusual, anomalous traffic events from multiple demographical and temporal dimensions. ClockPetals also provides the interactive exploration of different vehicle batches via common sequential characteristic clustering. This paper presents the system's architecture and the benefits of its adoption.

We present CRICTO, a new crowdsourcing visualanalytics environment for making sense of and analyzing text data, whereby multiple crowdworkers are able to parallelize the simple information schematization tasks of relating and connecting entities across documents. The diverse links from these schematization tasks are then automatically combined and the system visualizes them based on the semantic types of the linkages. CRICTO also includes several tools that allow analysts to interactively explore and refine crowdworkers' results to better support their own sensemaking processes. We evaluated CRICTO's techniques and analysis workflow with deployments of CRICTO using Amazon Mechanical Turk and a user study that assess the effect of crowdsourced schematization in sensemaking tasks. The results of our evaluation show that CRICTO's crowdsourcing approaches and workflow help analysts explore diverse aspects of datasets, and uncover more accurate hidden stories embedded in the text datasets.

visual analytic tools combine the complementary strengths of humans and machines in human-in-the-loop systems. Humans provide invaluable domain expertise and sensemaking capabilities to this discourse with analytic models;however, little consideration has yet been given to the ways inherent human biases might shape the visual analytic process. In this paper, we establish a conceptual framework for considering bias assessment through human-in-the-loop systems and lay the theoretical foundations for bias measurement. We propose six preliminary metrics to systematically detect and quantify bias from user interactions and demonstrate how the metrics might be implemented in an existing visual analytic system, InterAxis. We discuss how our proposed metrics could be used by visual analytic systems to mitigate the negative effects of cognitive biases by making users aware of biased processes throughout their analyses.

Anchoring effect is the tendency to focus too heavily on one piece of information when making decisions. In this paper, we present a novel, systematic study and resulting analyses that investigate the effects of anchoring effect on human decision-making using visual analytic systems. visualanalytics interfaces typically contain multiple views that present various aspects of information such as spatial, temporal, and categorical. These views are designed to present complex, heterogeneous data in accessible forms that aid decision-making. However, human decision-making is often hindered by the use of heuristics, or cognitive biases, such as anchoring effect. Anchoring effect can be triggered by the order in which information is presented or the magnitude of information presented. Through carefully designed laboratory experiments, we present evidence of anchoring effect in analysis with visualanalytics interfaces when users are primed by representation of different pieces of information. We also describe detailed analyses of users' interaction logs which reveal the impact of anchoring bias on the visual representation preferred and paths of analysis. We discuss implications for future research to possibly detect and alleviate anchoring bias.

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have been successfully applied to various natural language processing (NLP) tasks and achieved better results than conventional methods. However, the lack of understanding of the mechanisms behind their effectiveness limits further improvements on their architectures. In this paper, we present a visualanalytics method for understanding and comparing RNN models for NLP tasks. We propose a technique to explain the function of individual hidden state units based on their expected response to input texts. We then co-cluster hidden state units and words based on the expected response and visualize co-clustering results as memory chips and word clouds to provide more structured knowledge on RNNs' hidden states. We also propose a glyph-based sequence visualization based on aggregate information to analyze the behavior of an RNN's hidden state at the sentence-level. The usability and effectiveness of our method are demonstrated through case studies and reviews from domain experts.

It is an honor and a pleasure to present in this theme issue extended versions of the best papers from the recent visualanalyticsscience and technology Symposium (vast 07), held in conjunction with ieeevisualization 2007 (October 28-November 1, 2007 in Sacramento, CA). Now in its second year, vast is the premier international conference in visualanalytics. vast 07 had 24 papers accepted, presented, and published in the proceedings. The number and quality of papers is noteworthy since there has been increased competition from journal special issues devoted to visualanalytics and several conferences where visualanalytics papers are encouraged. The overall picture is of a strong and growing field. The seven papers selected span important visualanalytics topics such as investigative analysis, emergency response, collaboration, text and media analyses, social analytics, and interaction. These are not only rich research topics, they also involve techniques of importance to those who need to apply visualanalytics tools and methods. Several of these papers and also other papers from vast 07 reflect growing collaborations between visualization scientists and those who do analytics, either in mathematical and statistical methods, social analyses, financial analytics, or other areas. We expect that these collaborations will grow and in the future there will be leadership from the analytics side. Based on ongoing research in the visualanalytics community and interests expressed in discussions at workshops and other venues, in the future we also expect to see more papers in the important areas of analytical reasoning, cognitive models, the fundamental properties of interaction, and presentation visualanalytics for decision makers and others.

SAS (R) visualanalytics Explorer is an advanced data visualization and exploratory data analysis application that is a component of the SAS visualanalytics solution. It excels at handling big data problems like the vast challenge. With a wide range of visualanalytics features and the ability to scale to massive datasets, SAS visualanalytics Explorer enables analysts to find patterns and relationships quickly and easily, no matter the size of their data. In this summary paper, we explain how we used SAS visualanalytics Explorer to solve the vast Challenge 2012 mini-challenge 1.

The vast Challenge 2017 offered three mini-challenges and a grand challenge dealing with environmental problems potentially caused by human patterns of life and potentially harmful chemically laden effluent plumes being emitted from factory smokestacks. The data provided included traffic patterns, sensor data though a Preserve, information about the Preserve, multispectral imagery and a map to help an ornithology graduate student particularly concerned with the population decrease of the Rose-Crested Blue Pipit determine who and what might be responsible. Mini-Challenge 1 focused on analysis of vehicles passing through the Preserve over time. Mini-Challenge 2 looked at data collected by air sampling monitors surrounding nearby factories, along with meteorological readings, to understand potential impacts they may be having on the Pipit. Mini-Challenge 3 required investigation into several months of multi-spectral imagery over the area to understand the Preserve's general health. The Grand Challenge asked participants to synthesize across all three mini-challenges to create hypotheses of what is happening and what sensible next steps could be. This year's challenge received 58 submissions and recorded over 1100 unique downloads from 20 countries prior to the submission deadline.
