  • Publication number: 20180011850
    Abstract: A user-selected group of data points is received. Weighted distances between further data points with the user-selected group of data points are computed, the weighted distances computed based on respective weights assigned to dimensions of data points. Density-based grouping of the further data points is performed based on the computed weighted distances, the density-based grouping producing cohorts of data points. A graphical visualization is generated including pixels representing the user-selected group of data points and the cohorts of data points. The graphical visualization provides a temporal-based visualized identification of the cohorts with the user selected group of data points.

  • Publication number: 20180004803
    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.

  • Publication number: 20180005419
    Abstract: Visually interactive and iterative analysis of data patterns by a user is disclosed. One example is a system including a display module and an interaction processor. The display module displays, via an interactive graphical user interface, a visual representation of a plurality of data elements and respective data relations between the data elements, and wherein each data element is represented by pixel attributes of a pixel. The interaction processor iteratively and interactively processes analysis by a user based on identifying selection, by the user, of an arbitrarily shaped region of the visual representation, clipping the selected region by zooming in to the selected region, identifying, in the clipped region, selection of data elements of interest to the user, and prompting the display module to automatically blur visual representations of data elements different from the data elements of interest by modifying the pixel attributes of respective pixels.

  • Publication number: 20180004820
    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.

  • Publication number: 20170365079
    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. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) values are calculated based on the computed similarities between the events. A graphical visualization is generated of a temporal plot of the events, the temporal plot comprising a first axis corresponding to time, and a second axis corresponding to the MDS values, and the temporal plot representing overlapping time slices each containing pixels representing a respective subset of the events.

  • Publication number: 20170316071
    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.
