Provectories: Embedding-based Analysis of Interaction Provenance Data

IEEE Transaction on Visualisation and Computer Graphics (TVCG) Understanding user behavior patterns and visual analysis strategies is a long-standing challenge. Existing approaches rely largely on time-consuming manual processes such as interviews and the analysis of observational data. While it is technically possible to capture a history of user interactions and application states, it remains difficult […]

Human-AI Teaming

Background Extracting required information from documents is a common task in may research areas such as Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Psychology, Sociology, Law, and Business. For example, in a study to understand the the decision making process in the England appeal court, the researchers need to analysis count documents like this. The needed information includes the […]

Visual Analytic for Sensemaking

Background The goal of this project is to understand how users (general public or domain experts) make sense of data using data visualisation and/or machine learning, and build tools to support them. ‘Sensemaking’ is a bit broader than what is usually known as ‘data analysis’, as shown in the diagram below (the ‘Pirolli-Card model’): Searching […]

Human-Centred Data Science

Background While there are some efforts to automate the process of build machine learning model (commonly known as ‘AutoML’), there are many tasks in the different stages of a data science pipeline (see the diagram below) cannot be fully automated. For example, for ‘Data Wrangling’ a decision has to be made which dataset to get. […]
