Wikis, such as Wikipedia, have become increasingly popular in recent years. They allow anyone to easily contribute to collaboratively written content. To better organize content, users in Wikipedia assign categories to articles, or create new categories if needed. The resulting semantic coverage of a wiki's articles over its categories is worth studying but not easy to obtain. To provide a better understanding, we created an approach to visualize an entire wiki by creating a graphical representation that is similar to a geographical map. This enables even untrained users, as well as people outside the field of computer science, to obtain an easily understandable overview of a wiki.

This paper examines the effectiveness of a visualization system for getting insight into future research activities from co-authorship networks. A co-authorship network is important information when doing a research survey. In particular, there are many requests on survey that relate with researchers' future activities, such as identification of growing researchers and supervisors. In previous paper we proposed a visualization system for co-authorship networks, which provides the function for identifying research areas and that for identifying temporal variation of both network structure and keyword distribution. This paper examines its effectiveness through field trials by test participants. The results are examined as the process of hypothesis verification, which shows that test participants could perform the task even though they had no background knowledge about InfoVis.

data mining an non-trivial extraction of novel, implicit, and actionable knowledge from large data sets is an evolving technology which is a direct result of the increasing use of computer databases in order to store and retrieve information effectively. It is also known as Knowledge Discovery in databases (KDD) and enables data exploration, dataanalysis, and datavisualization of huge databases at a high level of abstraction, without a specific hypothesis in mind. The working of data mining is understood by using a method called modeling with it to make predictions. data mining techniques are results of long process of research and product development and include artificial neural networks, decision trees and genetic algorithms. This paper surveys the data mining technology, its definition, motivation, its process and architecture, kind of data mined, functionalities and classification of data mining, major issues, applications and directions for further research of data mining technology.

To facilitate the usage of software architecture documents (ADs), we claim the architectural information in the ADs needs to be structured into or presented as chunks. A chunk allows related information to be retrieved collectively as a unit and simplifies information location tasks. We propose a new semi-automated approach based on the actual usage of ADs by previous users, i.e. by capturing users' exploration paths through ADs while engaging in information seeking tasks and making these paths available for future retracing and analysis. As part of our work, we developed KaitoroCap, a document navigation capture and visualisation tool. Its main features are exploration paths capture, retrieval, analysis, hierarchical tree-view visualization of paths, path searching, section rating, tagging, commenting, expanding/collapsing and page model generation to enable dynamic restructuring of ADs. This paper describes the design, implementation and usage examples of KaitoroCap.

Agent-based simulation has become a key technique for modeling and simulating dynamic, complicated behaviors in social and behavioral sciences. Lacking the appropriate tools and support, it is difficult for social scientists to thoroughly analyze the results of these simulations. In this work, we capture the complex relationships between discrete simulation states by visualizing the data as a temporal graph. In collaboration with expert analysts, we identify two graph structures which capture important relationships between pivotal states in the simulation and their inevitable outcomes. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of these structures in the interactive analysis of a large-scale social science simulation of political power in present-day Thailand.

Optical imaging in vivo is an important tool for allowing researchers to understand neural ensemble interactions during awake behavior, sleep, anesthesia and during seizure activity. A major bottleneck in the overall efficiency of neural imaging experiments is the need for post-hoc analysis of imaging data. Computational capabilities are now at the point where real- or near-real-time multivariate analysis of imaging data is possible as data is acquired. In this paper we address the feasibility of performing real-time dataanalysis with a desktop computer, MATLAB, and a graphics processing unit (GPU). Important components of any real-time functional imaging analysis system are 1) dimensional reduction of the data, 2) visualization of the reduced vector space and 3) rapid calculation of functional connectivities. The ability to assess sources of variability in the data, and connectivity estimates on the fly, are potentially transformative for the way imaging laboratories perform their work. Here, we present benchmarks for analysis of functional imaging data using dimensional reduction methods and estimation of functional connectivities using least-squares and ridge regression methods.

Online news usually describes various events over multiple topics. Some of them may generate great impact and affection on other events, organizations or people. For example, a bankruptcy news about a big company may generate a great impact on other companies. Detecting this kind of impact helps users better to understand the affection of a specified event and its epidemic. Powerful text mining techniques have been developed to help users to detect topic trends of news articles. However, there is a lack of effective analysis tools that analyze and reveal the news impact in an intuitive approach. In this paper, we introduce Impact Wheel, an explorative visual analysis system for topic driven news impact detection. We describe two unique aspects of Impact Wheel, including 1) topic driven impact analysis and 2) interactive rich context visualization. Experiments on performance evaluation show that our proposed approach outperforms the two baseline methods on topic driven impact analysis. In addition, we demonstrate the power of the Impact Wheel system through a case study, which shows the benefits of this work, especially in support of rich topic dataanalysis.

This paper describes an approach for editing Indonesian Language Lexical database especially noun category and its relations. The purpose of this editor is to refine Indonesian Lexical database that was developed in our previous researches. The visualization of the editor is using graph library with some modifications and additions. Furthermore, this editor will be web based so that everyone can participate to improve Indonesian Language Lexical database. There is an administrator role that had to accept or reject any suggestion for the changes suggested by any member. We believe that this editing approach can also be used to improve WordNet developed in other languages.

In this paper, a hierarchical disaster image classification (HDIC) framework based on multi-source data fusion (MSDF) and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) is proposed to aid emergency managers in disaster response situations. The HDIC framework classifies images into different disaster categories and sub-categories using a pre-defined semantic hierarchy. In order to effectively fuse different sources (visual and text) of information, a weighting scheme is presented to assign different weights to each data resource depending on the hierarchical structure. The experimental analysis demonstrates that the proposed approach can effectively classify disaster images at each logical layer. In addition, the paper also presents an iPad application developed for situation report management using the proposed HDIC framework.
