Exploring Entities in Text with Descriptive Non-photorealistic Rendering
(IEEE, 2013-03)
We present a novel approach to text visualization called descriptive non-photorealistic rendering which exploits the inherent spatial and abstract dimensions in text documents to integrate 3D non-photorealistic rendering ...
Textension: Digitally Augmenting Document Spaces in Analog Texts
(DHQ, 2019)
In this paper, we present a system that automatically adds visualizations and natural language processing applications to analog texts, using any web-based device with a camera. After taking a picture of a particular page ...
Critical InfoVis: Exploring the Politics of Visualization

(2021-06-01)
In this paper we discuss a visual search system that was designed and implemented for humanities scholars to ask questions of large document corpora. The system allows searches to be specified through traditional search, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Visualization and the Digital Humanities: Moving Toward Stronger Collaborations
(IEEE, 2018-12-01)
For the past two years, researchers from the visualization community and the digital humanities have come together at the IEEE VIS conference to discuss how both disciplines can work together to push research goals in their ...
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 ...
Visualization, Digital Humanities, and the Problem of Instrumentalism
(2021-06-01)
