Organised by
Information Visualisation Conference
In cooperation with

&

The Information Visualisation
Conference (iV) is an international
conference that aims to provide a foundation for integrating the human-centred, technological and strategic aspects of information
visualisation in order to promote international
exchange, cooperation and development. Building upon the reported success of
last year workshop, IVS is pleased to announce the 10th Doctoral Research Workshop which will run as
part of the 20th International Conference on Information Visualisation (iV2016).
Doctoral Research workshop
This workshop focuses
on the issues that doctoral students face during their studies and includes following
interactive sessions the theme for this year workshop:

& Data Mining for High Dimensional Datasets Alfred Inselberg School of Mathematical
Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel A dataset with M items has 2M subsets anyone of which may be the one fullfiling our objectives. With a good data display and
interactivity our fantastic pattern-recognition can not only cut great swaths
searching through this combinatorial explosion, but also extract insights
from the visual patterns. These are the core reasons for data visualization.
With parallel coordinates (abbr. k-cs) the search
for relations in multivariate datasets is transformed into a 2-D pattern
recognition problem. The foundations are developed interlaced with
applications. Guidelines and strategies for knowledge discovery are
illustrated on several real datasets (financial, process control, credit-score,
intrusion-detection etc) one with hundreds of variables. A geometric
classification algorithm is presented and applied to complex datasets. It has
low computational complexity providing the classification rule explicitly and
visually. The minimal set of variables required to state the rule (features)
is found and ordered by their predictive value. Multivariate relations can be
modeled as hypersurfaces and used for decision
support. A model of a (real) country economy reveals sensitivies,
impact of constraints, trade-offs and economic sectors unknowingly competing
for the same resources. An overview of the methodology provides foundational
understanding; learning the patterns corresponding to various multivariate
relations. These patterns are robust in the presence of errors and that is
good news for the applications. We stand at the threshold of breaching the
gridlock of multidimensional visualization. The parallel coordinates
methodology has been applied to collision avoidance and conflict resolution
algorithms for air traffic control (3 USA patents), computer vision (1 USA
patent), data mining (1 USA patent), optimization, decision support and
elsewhere. KEYWORDS: Exploratory Data Analysis , Classification

Bio-sketch
Alfred Inselberg received a Ph.D.
in Mathematics
and Physics from the University of Illinois (Champaign-Urbana) and was Research
Professor there until 1966. He held research positions at IBM, where he
developed a Mathematical Model of Ear (TIME Nov. 74), concurrently having joint
appointments at UCLA, USC and later at the Technion
and Ben Gurion University. Since 1995 he is Professor
at the School of Mathematical Sciences at Tel Aviv University. He was elected
Senior Fellow at the San Diego Supercomputing Center
in 1996, Distinguished Visiting Professor at Korea University in 2008 and DistinguishedVisiting Professor at National University of
Singapore in 2011. Alfred invented and developed the multidimensional system of
Parallel Coordinates for which he received numerous awards and patents (on Air
Traffic Control, Collision-Avoidance, Computer Vision, Data
Mining). The textbook Parallel Coordinates: VISUAL Multidimensional Geometry
and its Applications, Springer (October) 2009, has a ful
chapter on Data Mining and was acclaimed, among others, by Stephen Hawking.
Pei
Ling Lai received a PhD from W. Scotland University in the UK. Her research
interests include: Machine Learning and Visualization. Currently, she is a
professor at the department of Electronics Engineering of southern Taiwan
University and Science and Technology in Taiwan

Timos Kipouros is
a Research Associate at the Engineering Design Centre of the University of
Cambridge. He is also a Research Fellow at the Propulsion Engineering Centre in
Cranfield University. He received his PhD in
computational engineering design from the University of Cambridge and his first
degree in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Patras, Greece. Timos has
research interests in interactive engineering design methodologies and the
visualization and management of high-dimensional engineering data.
In
this tutorial, Timos will emphasize the importance of
visualization in engineering decision making, and in particular on how
interactive parallel coordinates visualization is a key methodology to extract
understanding from computational engineering design studies. Real world
examples will also reveal how to link high level expectations and requirements
of programs to key engineering performance characteristics and in extend to
technical engineering design properties establishing communication between
stakeholders and domain experts.
