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 ...
Approaching Humanities Questions Using Slow Visual Search Interfaces
(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, ...
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 ...
Saliency Deficit and Motion Outlier Detection in Animated Scatterplots
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2019-05-04)
We report the results of a crowdsourced experiment that measured the accuracy of motion outlier detection in multivariate, animated scatterplots. The targets were outliers either in speed or direction of motion, and were ...
Tied In Knots: A Case Study on Anthropographic Data Visualization About Sexual Harassment in the Academy
(IEEE, 2020-10-30)
With this pictorial we present the design process of “The Academia is Tied in Knots”, an interactive visualization based on sensitive and qualitative data, namely personal stories reported by people who have experienced ...
Personalized Views for Immersive Analytics
(ACM, 2016-11)
In this paper we present work-in-progress toward a vision of personalized views of visual analytics interfaces in the context of collaborative analytics in immersive spaces. In particular, we are interested in the sense ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
