Recent research in flow visualization is focusing on the analysis of time-dependent, but mass-less particles. However, in many application scenarios, the mass of particles – and their resulting inertia – is essential in understanding fluid mechanics. This includes critical processes, such as dust particles interacting with aircraft (e.g., brownor white-out effects) and particle separation based...

We explore applications for enriching experiences around live visual media events by leveraging conversational activity on short messaging services. We investigate the application of existing methods to discover the structure and content of media events and develop methods for exposing the discovered informational cues to users. We demonstrate these approaches using video footage and Twitter ac...

Twitter has become a valuable source of event-related information, namely, breaking news and local event reports. Due to its capability of transmitting information in real-time, Twitter is further exploited for timeline summarisation of high-impact events, such as protests, accidents, natural disasters or disease outbreaks. Such summaries can serve as important event digests where users urgentl...

This paper explores the task of creating a timeline for historical Wikipedia articles, such as those describing wars, battles, and invasions. It focuses on extracting only the major events from the article, particularly those associated with an absolute date. Existing tools extract all possible events, while we write tools to identify time expressions and anchor them in real time. From this set...

The timeline concludes with a cutoff date in the late twentieth century, based on the principle that contemporary developments nee...
