چکیده

Information Visualization produces a visual representation of abstract data in order to facilitate a deeper level of understanding of the data under investigation. This paper introduces ViCo, a metric for assessing Information Visualization complexity. The proposed metric allows for the measurement of Information Visualization complexity with respect to tasks and users. The algorithm for developing such a metric for any chosen collection of visualizations is described in general and then applied to two examples for purposes of illustration.

Improving Success Ratio in Multi-Constraint Quality of Service Routing

Multi-constraint quality-of-service routing will become increasingly important as the Internet evolves to support real-time services. It is well known however, that optimum multi-constraint QoS routing is computationally complex, and for this reason various heuristics have been proposed for routing in practical situations. Among these methods, those that use a single mixed metric are the mo...

Stability Visualizations as a Low-complexity Descriptor of Network Host Behaviour

Detecting anomalous or malicious behaviour from NetFlow data alone is a difficult task due mainly to the limited information available in a NetFlow record. In this paper we propose a “stability” metric based on only four elements of the NetFlow record (source address, destination address, port, time), which may be efficiently visualized. We show that despite not having access to packet payloads...

Composite Kernel Optimization in Semi-Supervised Metric

Machine-learning solutions to classification, clustering and matching problems critically depend on the adopted metric, which in the past was selected heuristically. In the last decade, it has been demonstrated that an appropriate metric can be learnt from data, resulting in superior performance as compared with traditional metrics. This has recently stimulated a considerable interest in the to...

An Effective Approach for Robust Metric Learning in the Presence of Label Noise

Many algorithms in machine learning, pattern recognition, and data mining are based on a similarity/distance measure. For example, the kNN classifier and clustering algorithms such as k-means require a similarity/distance function. Also, in Content-Based Information Retrieval (CBIR) systems, we need to rank the retrieved objects based on the similarity to the query. As generic measures such as ...

VICO: Ontology-based representation and integrative analysis of Vaccination Informed Consent forms

BACKGROUND Although signing a vaccination (or immunization) informed consent form is not a federal requirement in the US and Canada, such a practice is required by many states and pharmacies. The content and structures of these informed consent forms vary, which makes it hard to compare and analyze without standardization. To facilitate vaccination informed consent data standardization and inte...
