<br> Information Visualization (infovis) has, for years, been limited to
small data: a typical infovis application will work well with up-to 1000
items/records, a few can scale to 100,000 items, and very few, including
the leading commercial products such as Tableau and Spotfire, have been
able to deal with millions of items. Billions are seldom mentioned in
the infovis literature. In contrast, the research fields of machine
learning and databases are routinely dealing with datasets of several
billions of items, and the numbers are growing.
 
There are legitimate reasons why it takes time for infovis to start
catching-up with these large numbers, and some work such as Lins et al.
Nanocubes (http://www.nanocubes.net/) and Liu et al. imMens
(http://idl.cs.washington.edu/papers/immens), have started to show
possible routes to scalability. However, they both rely on either
pre-computed aggregations that need hours to compute for large datasets,
or on a highly parallel infrastructure performing aggregations on the
fly. In my talk, I will explain why we need more flexible solutions and
present a new workflow architecture called ProgressiVis, to achieve
progressive computations and visualization over massive datasets.

Revision as of 15:07, 26 August 2015

The HCIL has an open semi-organized weekly "brown bag lunch (BBL)" on every Thursdays from 12:30-1:30pm in HCIL (2105 Hornbake, South Wing). The topics range from someone's work, current interest to the HCIL, a software demo/review, a study design, a proposed research topic, an introduction to a new person, etc. The BBL is the one hour a week where we all come together--thus, it’s a unique time for HCIL members with unique opportunities to help build collaborations, increase awareness of each other’s activities, and generally just have a bit of fun together with free food every week.

To sign up for a session, send an email to BBL student co-coordinator Austin Beck (austinbb@umd.edu) or Lelya Norooz (leylan@umd.edu). In the email, briefly describe the topic and preferred dates.

To get notified about upcoming events, please subscribe one of these mailing lists.

We thank YAHOO for its sponsorship of the HCIL Brown Bag Lunches Yahoo.jpg.

09/03/2015 All new students!

New student introductions!


Much like last year, this BBL is for new students to introduce themselves, talk briefly about their projects and interests and bounce their ideas off the HCIL members. The purpose of these informal and participatory talks is to help connect new students with professors and other students sharing the same interests.

ProgressiVis: a New Workflow Model for Scalability in Information Visualization


Information Visualization (infovis) has, for years, been limited to small data: a typical infovis application will work well with up-to 1000 items/records, a few can scale to 100,000 items, and very few, including the leading commercial products such as Tableau and Spotfire, have been able to deal with millions of items. Billions are seldom mentioned in the infovis literature. In contrast, the research fields of machine learning and databases are routinely dealing with datasets of several billions of items, and the numbers are growing.

There are legitimate reasons why it takes time for infovis to start catching-up with these large numbers, and some work such as Lins et al. Nanocubes (http://www.nanocubes.net/) and Liu et al. imMens (http://idl.cs.washington.edu/papers/immens), have started to show possible routes to scalability. However, they both rely on either pre-computed aggregations that need hours to compute for large datasets, or on a highly parallel infrastructure performing aggregations on the fly. In my talk, I will explain why we need more flexible solutions and present a new workflow architecture called ProgressiVis, to achieve progressive computations and visualization over massive datasets.
