In exploratory tasks involving high-dimensional datasets, dimensionality reduction (DR) techniques help analysts to discover patterns and other useful information. Although scatter plot representations of DR results allow for cluster identification and similarity analysis, such a visual metaphor presents problems when the number of instances of the dataset increases, resulting in cluttered visualizations. In this work, we propose a scatter plot-based multilevel approach to display DR results and address clutter-related problems when visualizing large datasets, together with the definition of a methodology to use focus+context interaction on non-hierarchical embeddings. The proposed technique, called ExplorerTree, uses a sampling selection technique on scatter plots to reduce visual clutter and guide users through exploratory tasks. We demonstrate ExplorerTrees effectiveness through a use case, where we visually explore activation images of the convolutional layers of a neural network. Finally, we also conducted a user experiment to evaluate ExplorerTrees ability to convey embedding structures using different sampling strategies.

The task of object viewpoint estimation has been a challenge since the early days of computer vision. To estimate the viewpoint (or pose) of an object, people have mostly looked at object intrinsic features, such as shape or appearance. Surprisingly,
informative features provided by other, extrinsic elements in the scene, have so far mostly been ignored. At the same time, contextual cues have been proven to be of great benefit for related tasks such as object detection or action recognition. In this paper, we explore how information from other objects in the scene can be exploited for viewpoint estimation. In particular, we look at object configurations by following a relational neighbor-based approach for reasoning about object relations. We show that, starting from noisy object detections and viewpoint estimates, exploiting the estimated viewpoint and location of other objects in the scene can lead to improved object viewpoint predictions. Experiments on the KITTI dataset demonstrate that object configurations can indeed be used as a complementary cue to appearance-based viewpoint estimation. Our analysis reveals that the proposed context-based method can improve object viewpoint estimation by reducing specific types of viewpoint estimation errors commonly made by methods that only consider local information. Moreover, considering contextual information produces superior performance in scenes where a high number of object instances occur. Finally, our results suggest that, following a cautious relational neighbor formulation brings improvements over its aggressive counterpart for the task of object viewpoint estimation.
The paper addresses the following problem: given a set of man-made shapes, e.g., chairs, can we quickly rank and explore the set of shapes with respect to a given avatar pose? Answering this question requires identifying which shapes are more suitabl
e for the defined avatar and pose; and moreover, to provide fast preview of how to alter the input geometry to better fit the deformed shapes to the given avatar pose? The problem naturally links physical proportions of human body and its interaction with object shapes in an attempt to connect ergonomics with shape geometry. We designed an interaction system that allows users to explore shape collections using the deformation of human characters while at the same time providing interactive previews of how to alter the shapes to better fit the user-specified character. We achieve this by first mapping ergonomics guidelines into a set of simultaneous multi-part constraints based on target contacts; and then, proposing a novel contact-based deformation model to realize multi-contact constraints. We evaluate our framework on various chair models and validate the results via a small user study.
The advent of mobile health technologies presents new challenges that existing visualizations, interactive tools, and algorithms are not yet designed to support. In dealing with uncertainty in sensor data and high-dimensional physiological records, w
e must seek to improve current tools that make sense of health data from traditional perspectives in event-based trend discovery. With Chronodes, a system developed to help researchers collect, interpret, and model mobile health (mHealth) data, we posit a series of interaction techniques that enable new approaches to understanding and exploring event-based data. From numerous and discontinuous mobile health data streams, Chronodes finds and visualizes frequent event sequences that reveal common chronological patterns across participants and days. By then promoting the sequences as interactive elements, Chronodes presents opportunities for finding, defining, and comparing cohorts of participants that exhibit particular behaviors. We applied Chronodes to a real 40GB mHealth dataset capturing about 400 hours of data. Through our pilot study with 20 behavioral and biomedical health experts, we gained insights into Chronodes efficacy, limitations, and potential applicability to a wide range of healthcare scenarios.
In this paper, we develop a novel method for fast geodesic distance queries. The key idea is to embed the mesh into a high-dimensional space, such that the Euclidean distance in the high-dimensional space can induce the geodesic distance in the origi
nal manifold surface. However, directly solving the high-dimensional embedding problem is not feasible due to the large number of variables and the fact that the embedding problem is highly nonlinear. We overcome the challenges with two novel ideas. First, instead of taking all vertices as variables, we embed only the saddle vertices, which greatly reduces the problem complexity. We then compute a local embedding for each non-saddle vertex. Second, to reduce the large approximation error resulting from the purely Euclidean embedding, we propose a cascaded optimization approach that repeatedly introduces additional embedding coordinates with a non-Euclidean function to reduce the approximation residual. Using the precomputation data, our approach can determine the geodesic distance between any two vertices in near-constant time. Computational testing results show that our method is more desirable than previous geodesic distance queries methods.
Deep learning-based language models have achieved state-of-the-art results in a number of applications including sentiment analysis, topic labelling, intent classification and others. Obtaining text representations or embeddings using these models pr
esents the possibility of encoding personally identifiable information learned from language and context cues that may present a risk to reputation or privacy. To ameliorate these issues, we propose Context-Aware Private Embeddings (CAPE), a novel approach which preserves privacy during training of embeddings. To maintain the privacy of text representations, CAPE applies calibrated noise through differential privacy, preserving the encoded semantic links while obscuring sensitive information. In addition, CAPE employs an adversarial training regime that obscures identified private variables. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach reduces private information leakage better than either single intervention.
