Towards better analysis of machine learning models: A visual analytics perspective

Shixia Liu, Xiting Wang, Mengchen Liu et al. · 1 Mar 2017

Interactive model analysis, the process of understanding, diagnosing, and refining a machine learning model with the help of interactive visualization, is very important for users to efficiently solve real-world artificial intelligence and data mining problems. Dramatic advances in big data analytics have led to a wide variety of interactive model analysis tasks. In this paper,…

Metaverse: Perspectives from graphics, interactions and visualization

Yuheng Zhao, Jinjing Jiang, Yi Chen et al. · 1 Mar 2022

The metaverse is a visual world that blends the physical world and digital world. At present, the development of the metaverse is still in the early stage, and there lacks a framework for the visual construction and exploration of the metaverse. In this paper, we propose a framework that summarizes how graphics, interaction, and visualization…

ECharts: A declarative framework for rapid construction of web-based visualization

Deqing Li, Honghui Mei, Yi Shen et al. · 17 May 2018

While there have been a dozen of authoring systems and programming toolkits for visual design and development, users who do not have programming skills, such as data analysts or interface designers, still may feel cumbersome to efficiently implement a web-based visualization.In this paper, we present ECharts, an open-sourced, web-based, cross-platform framework that supports the rapid…

Enhancing the functionality of augmented reality using deep learning, semantic web and knowledge graphs: A review

Γεώργιος Λαμπρόπουλος, Euclid Keramopoulos, Konstantinos Diamantaras · 16 Jan 2020

The growth rates of today’s societies and the rapid advances in technology have led to the need for access to dynamic, adaptive and personalized information in real time. Augmented reality provides prompt access to rapidly flowing information which becomes meaningful and “alive” as it is embedded in the appropriate spatial and time framework. Augmented reality…

Generative AI (GenAI) has witnessed remarkable progress in recent years and demonstrated impressive performance in various generation tasks in different domains such as computer vision and computational design. Many researchers have attempted to integrate GenAI into visualization framework, leveraging the superior generative capacity for different operations. Concurrently, recent major breakthroughs in GenAI like diffusion model…

Visual Informatics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Visual Informatics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Visual Informatics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Visual Informatics use?
Visual Informatics uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Visual Informatics, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
