MAQUI: Interweaving Queries and Pattern Mining for Recursive Event Sequence Exploration
10.1109/TVCG.2018.2864886
Exploring event sequences by defining queries alone or by using mining algorithms alone is often not sufficient to support analysis. Analysts often interweave querying and mining in a recursive manner during event sequence analysis: sequences extracted as query results are used for mining patterns, patterns generated a...

Time-Dependent Flow seen through Approximate Observer Killing Fields
10.1109/TVCG.2018.2864839
Flow fields are usually visualized relative to a global observer, i.e., a single frame of reference. However, often no global frame can depict all flow features equally well. Likewise, objective criteria for detecting features such as vortices often use either a global reference frame, or compute a separate frame for e...
