Heuristic Evaluation in Information Visualization Using Three Sets of Heuristics: An Exploratory Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evaluation in Information Visualization is inherently complex, and it is still a challenge. Whereas it is possible to adapt evaluation methods from other fields, as Human-Computer Interaction, this adaptation may not be straightforward since visualization applications are very specific interactive systems. This paper addresses issues in using heuristic evaluation to evaluate visualizations and visualization applications, and presents an exploratory study in two phases and involving 25 evaluators aimed at assessing the understandability and effectiveness of three sets of heuristics that have been used in Information Visualization.

Information visualization is the use of computer-based, interactive visual representations of data to amplify cognition. It also aims to make large amounts of data easy to understand. It includes abstract tasks such as being understandable for users and decision making based on knowledge. There are a great number of data visualization techniques defined in literature. A successful visualization...
متن کاملRobust Solutions for the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem
Robustness is essential for schedules if they are being executed under uncertain conditions. In this thesis we research robustness in Partial Order Schedules, which represent sets of solutions for instances of the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem. They can be generated using a greedy procedure called Chaining, which can be easily adapted to use various heuristics. We use an empir...

This paper provides a test method to make a fair comparison between different heuristics in structure optimization. When statistical methods are applied to the structural optimization (namely heuristics or meta-heuristics with several tunable parameters and starting seeds), the "one problem - one result" is extremely far from the fair comparison. From statistical point of view, the minimal requ...
متن کاملToward a Heuristic Model for Evaluating the Complexity of Computer Security Visualization Interface
Computer security visualization has gained much attention in the research community in the past few years. However, the advancement in security visualization research has been hampered by the lack of standardization in visualization design, centralized datasets, and evaluation methods. We propose a new heuristic model for evaluating the complexity of computer security visualizations. This compl...
متن کاملImproving Contrast Set Mining
A fundamental task in exploratory data analysis is discerning the differences between contrasting groups. Contrast set mining has been developed as a data mining task, which aims to identify the differences between these groups. This paper examines the algorithms, heuristics, and open issues of contrast set mining, and seeks to improve contrast set mining by addressing several of the open issue...
