We introduce a method to quantify visual diagnostic clues that are considered during simulated pathology diagnosis. We extend Apriori method of association rule mining with custom Perl extensions to collect sets of diagnostic clues that show an improvement in diagnostic accuracy. We developed an information gain measure based on Kullback-Leibler divergence in an attempt to gauge the impact of additional...
The Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka replicas of ma- rine invertebrates are among the more famous objects produced in the XIXth century for pedagogical purposes. Their high level of detail, still unknown manufacturing technique and their con- ceived artistic beauty, make these glass replicas precious museum exhibits currently. The fragility of these items produced by the Blaschka family (father and son)...
A diverse range of people, from students to engineers to designers, are interested in using programming to analyze, visualize, and build new intelligent systems from data. However, when working with data, a programmer must typically experiment heavily: writing out and running many different approaches in code to reach a desired result [1][2]. This form of exploratory programming presents extra challenges...
Currently used motion estimation is usually based on a computation of optical flow from individual images or short sequences. As these methods do not require an extraction of the visual description in points of interest, correspondence can be deduced only by the position of such points. In this paper, we propose an alternative motion estimation method solely using a binary visual descriptor. By tuning...
The article represents retrospection of special suit (scaphandre, spacesuit) advancement. Chronology of Soviet aviation- and space- suits making, exploitation and technological features of various special suits are considered herein. Historical connections and continuity of technologies of their creation are given. The article contains the results of a new approach in the history of space technology...
This paper introduces our approach to a real-time synchronous collaborative modeling of software systems using 3D UML in a way similar to shared Google Document online with the aim to reduce the complexity of UML models and to increase work efficiency. In our approach, we decided to visualize the system with 2D UML diagrams on interconnected layers containing components (in class diagrams) or use...
Digital recreations of historical sites and events are important tools both for academic researchers [6,7] and for public interpretation [7,9]. Current 3D visualization and VR technologies enable these recreations to be increasingly immersive and engaging [10,14]. This poster describes a case study based on a mid-twentieth century Chester dance hall, examining the possibilities and limitations of...
A large amount of time-series data has been frequently used to extract the useful patterns and trends and to visualize them for better understanding. This work is focusing on visualizing personal lifelogging data for tracking back to personal histories. Thereby, we present several similarity measures between multi-dimensional data at two different time points. For human evaluation, the method has...
Modern students have been brought up on the literature in the style of “fantasy” and computer games, so reading scientific literature and watching science films seems boring to modern students. To solve the problem of increasing students' interest in learning we offer a MOOC in form of “Quest”-style.
This paper examines the critical importance of time to the experience of place and argues that time-based virtual heritage creates more engaging and affective virtual places supporting rich learning opportunities for heritage audiences. It examines the experience of place, heritage place and virtual place as instanced in state-of-the-art computer games. It discusses the use of heritage visualisation...
In recent years a great debate has aroused concerning the deep transformations triggered by the so-called "digital revolution" in all research fields. Architecture has been highly affected by this phenomenon but, while it is commonplace to measure these changes in terms of "science", much less popular are those aspects connected with the Humanities integrated in any architectural...
We introduce the task of Visual Dialog, which requires an AI agent to hold a meaningful dialog with humans in natural, conversational language about visual content. Specifically, given an image, a dialog history, and a question about the image, the agent has to ground the question in image, infer context from history, and answer the question accurately. Visual Dialog is disentangled enough from a...
In this paper we address the question of the relationships between visualization challenges and the representation components that provide solutions to these challenges. Our approach involves extracting such relationships through an identification of the context and the components of a significant number of representations and a comparison of the result to existing theoretical studies. To make such...
Models of human information seeking reveal that search, in particular ad-hoc retrieval, is non-linear and iterative. Despite these findings, todays search user interfaces do not support non-linear navigation, like for example backtracking in time. In this work, we propose QueryCrumbs, a compact and easy-to-understand visualization for navigating the search query history supporting iterative query...
Storyline visualization, as a process of illustrating data that has a course of events via a visual medium, has been used in the area of film making for a very long time. Not so long ago, it has moved from the paper version to the digital word allowing for a wider usage. In this paper we propose its usage as a teaching tool in the area of literature reading for the Croatian class (primary language)...
A Minor Incident is a personal creation of animated short film that reflects upon the essence of human integration. Through the comparison and combination of individual differences in existential values, this film investigates the essence of group integration. Interactions among various ethnic and cultural groups in Taiwan are presented with a metaphorical story where personification is applied in...
Changes to software requirements occur throughout the software life cycle. Requirements engineers who maintain software systems in regulated environments must identify the affected artifacts when requirements change. This identification is critical to: (a) ensure continued compliance with regulations, and (b) accurately estimate budget requests. Previously, we introduced Requirements Evolution Charts...
Software systems are inherently complex and this is because of the interactions between their constituent entities. These affect refactoring efforts and therefore numerous tools that reveal dependencies between software artefacts have been proposed. However, existing tools only take into account the current version of a system, while the evolution of dependencies can hold clues that can help developers...
Current studies on software development either focus on the change history of source code from version-control systems or on an analysis of simplistic in-IDE events without context information. Each of these approaches contains valuable information that is unavailable in the other case. Our work proposes enriched event streams, a solution that combines the best of both worlds and provides a holistic...
