Abstract:

Massive data-sets contain information which is concentrated in very small regions of a very high dimensional space. In order to extract this information, it is necessary to draw on several different fields, with a variety of tools. We develop a new analytics framework, merging two areas of research, Bayesian Statistics and Visual Analytics, which we moniker: Bayesian Visual Analytics (BaVA). Mathematical and statistical disciplines rely on model based formulations, making use of structured parameterizations; whereas, simple visualization of high dimensional data has utility, but coherent organization of the display is often a difficulty. In this new paradigm, we synthesize these tools in order to make a cohesive, adjustable visualization, through user feedback. This talk will focus on presenting the BaVA proces, the formal descriptions of cognitive and parametric feedback, and examples.
