Symposium on Big Data Visual and Immersive Analytics in Konstanz

The 4th International BDVA (Big Data Visual and Immersive Analytics) 2018 Symposium is a well-established scientific meeting that covers the area of Visual Analytics and Immersive Analytics of Big Data. The international symposium will be the first time held out of Australia at the University of Konstanz on October 17 – 19, 2018. BDVA 2018 offers researchers with the opportunity to be part of an exciting programme with internationally renowned keynote speakers, special sessions, and Workshops.

Visual Analysis of Urban Traffic Data – EuroVis 2018 Workshop

This years conference on visualization EuroVis 2018 took place from 4th June till 8th June. Besides the excellent works presented at the conference, there were lots of possibilities to discuss topics with people from diverse areas and to meet new people from various domains worth exchanging experiences.

About Data Provenance and Annotation in Computational Linguistics

At the end of January, Miriam Butt, Melanie Herschel, and Christin Schätzle (members of projects D02 and D03 of the SFB/Transregio 161) organized a workshop on Data Provenance and Annotation in Computational Linguistics in Prague, co-located with the Treebanks and Lingustic Theory (TLT16) conference.

Weighted Linde-Buzo-Gray Stippling

At SIGGRAPH Asia 2017, we presented a technical paper titled “Weighted Linde-Buzo-Gray Stippling”. With this paper, we proposed a novel approach for sampling in computer graphics. Similar to cell division in biology, we iteratively split Voronoi cells until a target density distribution, for example based on an input image, is reached.

Visualizing Uncertainty of Proteins at PacificVis 2018

We presented an approach for uncertainty visualization of proteins at the 11th IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium in Kōbe, Japan. In some application areas such as medical visualization or weather forecasting, uncertainty is nowadays often illustrated to enable a more informed visual analysis. However, molecular visualization rarely incorporates uncertainty, although it is present in the data.

Visual Computing an Bord der MS Wissenschaft

Diese Woche startete die MS Wissenschaft ihre Tour in Berlin-Mitte. Mit an Bord des Ausstellungsschiffes ist ein Touch-Tisch der Universität Stuttgart und Universität Konstanz, an dem man erfahren kann, wie der nachhaltige Fortschritt durch Visual Computing unsere zukünftige Arbeitswelt beeinflusst.

EMMCVPR – Research on Variational Optical Flow Estimation

Last year the EMMCVPR took place in Venice. During the conference we had the opportunity to presented our recent works on variational optical flow estimation in the context of large displacements and illumination changes. Meantime our results have been published!

Physical Computing and Biosensing Hackathon in Lancaster

On Wednesday September 20th, Jakob Karolus and me ran a Physical Computing and Biosensing Hackathon within the context of the AffecTech training week in Lancaster. In this day-long event, 15 AffecTech Ph.D. students with backgrounds ranging from Clinical Psychology to Human-Computer Interaction worked in multidisciplinary groups to create systems that support people coping with emotional and affective conditions.

How can we Visualize Large Amounts of Performance Data with Conventional Infovis Techniques?

The SIGGRAPH Asia 2017 conference was held in Bangkok. It attracted many interested visitors from industry, education and other fields. The conference is mainly about rendering, graphics and animation. However, there is also a small Symposium on Visualization (SA17VIS) for researches from visualization and more graphics intensive backgrounds to meet and exchange ideas. During this symposium we had the change to present our paper “Visual Exploration of Mainframe Workloads”.

Research Results from Tübingen, Konstanz and Stuttgart accepted at CHI 2018

Each year in December, senior Human-Computer Interaction researchers meet to discuss the articles submitted to the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (or in short CHI). CHI is the most important venue for research on Human-Computer Interaction and covers a broad range of research from understanding people, via novel interaction techniques to visualization. This year, over 300 researchers came to Montreal and discussed the articles submitted to CHI 2018. With Harald Reiterer and me, two associate chairs from Konstanz and Stuttgart participated in the meeting. CHI only accepts about 25% of the submissions after a rigorous peer review process. With 16 accepted publications, the groups participating in SFB-TRR 161 from Konstanz, Tübingen, and Stuttgart have been very successful and are happy about how well their submissions have been received.
