Decentralized dynamic understanding of hidden relations in complex networks

Journal Article
Mocanu, D. C., Exarchakos, G., & Liotta, A. (2018)
Decentralized dynamic understanding of hidden relations in complex networks. Scientific Reports, 8(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-19356-4
Almost all the natural or human made systems can be understood and controlled using complex networks. This is a difficult problem due to the very large number of elements in s...

Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations

Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2007)
Exploring multiple trees through DAG representations. IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 13, 1294-1301. https://doi.org/10.1109/TVCG.2007.70556
We present a Directed Acyclic Graph visualisation designed to allow interaction with a set of multiple classification trees, specifically to find overlaps and differences betw...

Conference Proceeding
Graham, M., Craig, P., & Kennedy, J. (2008)
Visualisation to Aid Biodiversity Studies through Accurate Taxonomic Reconciliation. In W. A. Gray, K. G. Jeffery, & J. Shao (Eds.), Proceedings of British National Conference on Database Systems: Sharing Data, Information and Knowledge, 280-291. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-70504-8_29
All aspects of organismal biology rely on the accurate identification of specimens described and observed. This is particularly important for ecological surveys of biodiversit...

Measuring perceived clutter in concept diagrams

Conference Proceeding
Hou, T., Chapman, P., & Oliver, I. (2016)
Measuring perceived clutter in concept diagrams. In 2016 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computinghttps://doi.org/10.1109/vlhcc.2016.7739661
Clutter in a diagram can be broadly defined as how visually complex the diagram is. It may be that different users perceive clutter in different ways, however. Moreover, it ha...

Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs) and models derived from them have been successfully used as basic building blocks in deep artificial neural networks for automatic feature...

A survey of multiple tree visualisation.

Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2010)
A survey of multiple tree visualisation. Information Visualization, 9, 235-252. https://doi.org/10.1057/ivs.2009.29
This paper summarises the state-of-the-art in multiple tree visualisations. It discusses the spectrum of current representation techniques used on single trees, pairs of trees...

High-density communications in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) demand for new approaches to meet stringent energy and spectrum requirements. We turn to reinforcement learning,...

Evaluating the VIPER pedigree visualisation: detecting inheritance inconsistencies in genotyped pedigrees.

Conference Proceeding
Paterson, T., Graham, M., Kennedy, J., & Law, A. (2011)
Evaluating the VIPER pedigree visualisation: detecting inheritance inconsistencies in genotyped pedigrees. In 2011 IEEE Symposium on Biological Data Visualization (BioVis), 119-126. https://doi.org/10.1109/BioVis.2011.6094056
VIPER (Visual Pedigree Explorer) is a tool for exploring large complex animal pedigrees and their associated genotype data. The tool combines a novel, space-efficient visualis...

Redeeming pedigree data with an interactive error cleaning visualisation.

Conference Proceeding
Graham, M., Kennedy, J., Paterson, T., & Law, A. (2012)
Redeeming pedigree data with an interactive error cleaning visualisation. In Proceedings of Advanced Visual Interfaces 2012, 741-744. https://doi.org/10.1145/2254556.2254698
We describe a visual data cleansing application for pedigree genotype data, which is used to redeem otherwise unusable pedigree data sets. Biologists and bioinformaticians dyn...
