Amanda Stent will give a talk entitled "InteractiveX:
Generating multimedia summaries of spatio-temporal data sets"
Date: October 1, 2012
Time: 2:30pm
Location: ETS, Anrig Hall, Room P-016 (directions | campus map)
VISITORS TO ETS: Please contact Joel Tetreault (jtetreault at ETS dot org) for security and arrival information.
ABSTRACT:
Organizations and individuals increasingly have to deal with
large to very large data sets that include spatio-temporal information,
such as network traffic data, credit card records, wildlife tracking
data, exam scores by time and place, and even data from social media
such as twitter. We have access to sophisticated statistical and
visualization tools for analyzing these data sets. However, the
output from these tools is frequently only understandable by experts --
and even experts can start to suffer from information overload. We
have designed a system, interactiveX, that guides users to understand the
meaning of large spatio-temporal data sets through automatic creation of
interactive multimedia explanations that combine text, graphics and the
results of data analysis. In this talk, we will first outline the
challenges of this task. We will then present the architecture of
our system, demonstrate some user interfaces to our system, and describe
some recent research results from this work.
