Lexichrome: Text Construction and Lexical Discovery with Word-Color Associations Using Interactive Visualization
(ACM, 2020-07-03)
Based on word-color associations from a comprehensive, crowdsourced lexicon, we present Lexichrome: a web application that explores the popular perception of relationships between English words and eleven basic color terms ...
Perceptual Biases in Font Size as a Data Encoding
(IEEE, 2017-07-04)
Many visualizations, including word clouds, cartographic labels, and word trees, encode data within the sizes of fonts. While font size can be an intuitive dimension for the viewer, using it as an encoding can introduce ...
A "Communication Skills for Computer Scientists" Course
(ACM, 2009-07)
This paper describes "Communication Skills for Computer Scientists," a novel undergraduate course at the University of Toronto. We describe in detail the three major instructional streams of the course: writing, speaking, ...
Webcasting Made Interactive: Persistent Chat for Text Dialogue During and About Learning Events
(Springer, 2007)
This paper presents a “persistent chat” extension to the ePresence Interactive Media webcasting infrastructure to support real-time commenting on and discussing of issues that arise during a learning event, followed by ...
Multi-readout logic gate for selective metal ions detection in parts per billion levels
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2016-07-18)
Optical sensors utilizing visual responses for the identification of metal ions require reliable molecular systems able to operate selectively in multicomponent solutions. Herein, we report a water-soluble terpyridyl-based ...
Visualization, Digital Humanities, and the Problem of Instrumentalism
(2021-06-01)
In this paper we present the concept of “slow analytics” that attempts to ridge the gap between humanities tasks and visualization. Often within Technological disciplines the pursuit of speed and efficiency are paramount. ...
A Vision-Based System For Non-Intrusive Posture Correction Notifications
(2021-05-20)
Sedentary lifestyle and the prolonged sitting associated with it may have negative health consequences and poor sitting posture only exacerbates that. In this thesis I propose a software application for monitoring a computer ...
A Framework for Interactive Conference Posters
(2021-05-25)

Abbreviating Text Labels on Demand
(IEEE, 2017-10)
Long text labels is a known challenge in information visualizations.There are some techniques used in order to solve this problem like setting a very small font size. On the other hand, sometimes the font size is so small ...
Visual Analytics for Topic Model Optimization based on User-Steerable Speculative Execution
(IEEE, 2018-09-18)
To effectively assess the potential consequences of human interventions in model-driven analytics systems, we establish the concept of speculative execution as a visual analytics paradigm for creating user-steerable preview ...
