Abstract: In examples, there is provided a method for modifying a data item from a source apparatus, the data item associated with an event, in which the method comprises, within a trusted environment, parsing the data item to generate a set of tuples relating to the event and/or associated with the source apparatus, each tuple comprising a data item, and a data identifier related to the data item, applying a rule to a first tuple to pseudonymise a first data item to provide a transformed data item, and/or generate a contextual supplement to the first data item, generating a mapping between the transformed data item and the first data item, whereby to provide a link between the transformed data item and the first data item to enable subsequent resolution of the first data item using the transformed data item, and forwarding the transformed data item and the data identifier related to the first data item to an analytics engine situated logically outside of the trusted environment.

Abstract: A unified visualization interface is disclosed. One example is a system including an association module, a multicasting module, a data sharing module, and a unified visualization interface. The association module associates an identified event in a first visualization system with a visualization function. The multicasting module stores event data related to the identified event and the associated visualization function in a shared data source, and multicasts the identified event to a second visualization system. The data sharing module associates the event data with characteristics of the first visualization system, and shares, in response to the multicast of the identified event, the shared data source with the second visualization system.

Abstract: Automated weighting is performed that includes transforming a behavior of each respective dimension of multiple dimensions of a selected group of events to a respective weight, the respective weight determined based on a distribution of values of the respective dimension, and where the weight determined for a first of the plurality of dimensions is greater than the weight determined for a second of the plurality of dimensions. Similarity values are computed indicating similarities between further events and the selected group of events, the similarity values based on a combination of the weights and distances between the further events and the selected group of events. Cohorts of the further events are generated by performing multi-level ranking that comprises ranking groups of the further events based on the similarity values, and applying merging to the groups to produce merged groups. The cohorts are visualized in a graphical visualization.

Abstract: Similarities between events that include a plurality of dimensions are computed, the similarities computed based on binary comparisons between the events and based on user-specified weights for the dimensions.

Abstract: Examples associated with display mapping are described. One example system includes a display mapping module. The display mapping module maps display components connected to the system to virtual channels to which the system is subscribed. A communication module transmits a content instruction to subscribers of a virtual channel. The instruction controls the subscribers of the virtual channel to display content associated with the content instruction on display components the respective subscribers have mapped to the virtual channel. A display module causes a display component mapped to the virtual channel to display content associated with the content instruction.

Abstract: Visualization of a cohort for high-dimensional categorical data is disclosed. One example is a system including a display module to identify real-time selection of a query data element in an interactive visual representation of high-dimensional categorical data elements comprising a plurality of categorical components. A matrix generator generates a binary distance matrix with columns representing categorical components, and entries in a row indicative of a degree of similarity of respective categorical components of the selected query data element to a data element represented by the row, and determines a category weighting matrix by associating a weight with entries in each column of the binary distance matrix. An evaluator evaluates a weighted similarity score for a data element represented by a row of the category weighting matrix based on entries of the row. A selector iteratively and interactively selects, based on weighted similarity scores, a cohort of categorical data elements.

Abstract: A technique for visualizing topics includes depicting topic bubbles including pixels. In one example, selected topics are identified from records based on scoring candidate terms in the records according to a user-specified metric and a metric selected from among frequencies of occurrence of records pertaining to the respective candidate terms, and negativity of sentiment expressed with respect to the candidate terms in the records. A visualization is generated including bubbles representing topics, the bubbles including pixels representing corresponding records. A bubble has a shape dependent upon a number of records and a time interval represented by the bubble. Visual indicators are assigned to the pixels in a given bubble according to values of an attribute expressed in the corresponding records for the topic represented by the given bubble, resulting in the analysis of the selected topics being less time consuming and labor intensive.

Abstract: Visually interactive identification of a cohort of similar data objects is disclosed. One example is a system including a data processor to access a plurality of data objects, each data object comprising a plurality of numerical components, where each component represents a data feature of a plurality of data features, and to identify, for each data feature, a feature distribution of the numerical components. A selector selects a sub-plurality of the data features of a query object, where a given data feature is selected if the component representing the given data feature is a peak for the feature distribution. An evaluator determines a similarity measure based on the sub-plurality of the data features. An interaction processor iteratively processes selection of a sub-plurality of the data features based on domain knowledge, and identifies, based on the similarity measures, a cohort of data objects similar to the query object.

Abstract: According to an example, in a method for displaying visual analytics of entity data, geographic locations of entities may be plotted as first pixel cells on a first region and as second pixel cells on a second region of a geographic map. A determination may be made that the first pixel cells have a higher degree of overlap with each other in the first region compared to the second pixel cells in the second region. The geographic map may be distorted to enlarge the first region and the first pixel cells may be arranged in the first region in a manner that prevents the first pixel cells from overlapping each other. A color value for each of the pixel cells may be determined from a multi-paired color map that represents two variables corresponding to the entities by color and the pixel cells may be caused to be displayed on the distorted geographic map according to the determined respective color values.
