Fast filtering and animation of large dynamic networks
Detecting and visualizing what are the most relevant changes in an evolving
network is an open challenge in several domains. We present a fast algorithm
that filters subsets of the strongest nodes and edges representing an evolving
weighted graph and visualize it by either creating a movie, or by streaming it
to an interactive network visualization tool. The algorithm is an approximation
of exponential sliding time-window that scales linearly with the number of
interactions. We compare the algorithm against rectangular and exponential
sliding time-window methods. Our network filtering algorithm: i) captures
persistent trends in the structure of dynamic weighted networks, ii) smoothens
transitions between the snapshots of dynamic network, and iii) uses limited
memory and processor time. The algorithm is publicly available as open-source
software.Comment: 6 figures, 2 table
Multiple Uncertainties in Time-Variant Cosmological Particle Data
Though the mediums for visualization are limited, the potential dimensions of a dataset are not. In many areas of scientific study, understanding the correlations between those dimensions and their uncertainties is pivotal to mining useful information from a dataset. Obtaining this insight can necessitate visualizing the many relationships among temporal, spatial, and other dimensionalities of data and its uncertainties. We utilize multiple views for interactive dataset exploration and selection of important features, and we apply those techniques to the unique challenges of cosmological particle datasets. We show how interactivity and incorporation of multiple visualization techniques help overcome the problem of limited visualization dimensions and allow many types of uncertainty to be seen in correlation with other variables

From Traditional to Modern : Domain Adaptation for Action Classification in Short Social Video Clips
Short internet video clips like vines present a significantly wild
distribution compared to traditional video datasets. In this paper, we focus on
the problem of unsupervised action classification in wild vines using
traditional labeled datasets. To this end, we use a data augmentation based
simple domain adaptation strategy. We utilise semantic word2vec space as a
common subspace to embed video features from both, labeled source domain and
unlablled target domain. Our method incrementally augments the labeled source
with target samples and iteratively modifies the embedding function to bring
the source and target distributions together. Additionally, we utilise a
multi-modal representation that incorporates noisy semantic information
available in form of hash-tags. We show the effectiveness of this simple
adaptation technique on a test set of vines and achieve notable improvements in
performance.Comment: 9 pages, GCPR, 201
