Visualizing semantic data
Visualizing semantic data describes the task of using the additional self describing features of semantic data (Linked Data/RDF) to inform the process of creating vector or bitmap drawings
Visualizing the semantic content of large text databases using text maps
A methodology for generating text map representations of the semantic content of text databases is presented. Text maps provide a graphical metaphor for conceptualizing and visualizing the contents and data interrelationships of large text databases. Described are a set of experiments conducted against the TIPSTER corpora of Wall Street Journal articles. These experiments provide an introduction to current work in the representation and visualization of documents by way of their semantic content
TopicViz: Semantic Navigation of Document Collections
When people explore and manage information, they think in terms of topics and
themes. However, the software that supports information exploration sees text
at only the surface level. In this paper we show how topic modeling -- a
technique for identifying latent themes across large collections of documents
-- can support semantic exploration. We present TopicViz, an interactive
environment for information exploration. TopicViz combines traditional search
and citation-graph functionality with a range of novel interactive
visualizations, centered around a force-directed layout that links documents to
the latent themes discovered by the topic model. We describe several use
scenarios in which TopicViz supports rapid sensemaking on large document
collections
Towards Analyzing Semantic Robustness of Deep Neural Networks
Despite the impressive performance of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) on various
vision tasks, they still exhibit erroneous high sensitivity toward semantic
primitives (e.g. object pose). We propose a theoretically grounded analysis for
DNN robustness in the semantic space. We qualitatively analyze different DNNs'
semantic robustness by visualizing the DNN global behavior as semantic maps and
observe interesting behavior of some DNNs. Since generating these semantic maps
does not scale well with the dimensionality of the semantic space, we develop a
bottom-up approach to detect robust regions of DNNs. To achieve this, we
formalize the problem of finding robust semantic regions of the network as
optimizing integral bounds and we develop expressions for update directions of
the region bounds. We use our developed formulations to quantitatively evaluate
the semantic robustness of different popular network architectures. We show
through extensive experimentation that several networks, while trained on the
same dataset and enjoying comparable accuracy, do not necessarily perform
similarly in semantic robustness. For example, InceptionV3 is more accurate
despite being less semantically robust than ResNet50. We hope that this tool
will serve as a milestone towards understanding the semantic robustness of
DNNs.Comment: Presented at European conference on computer vision (ECCV 2020)

Specification and implementation of mapping rule visualization and editing : MapVOWL and the RMLEditor
Visual tools are implemented to help users in defining how to generate Linked Data from raw data. This is possible thanks to mapping languages which enable detaching mapping rules from the implementation that executes them. However, no thorough research has been conducted so far on how to visualize such mapping rules, especially if they become large and require considering multiple heterogeneous raw data sources and transformed data values. In the past, we proposed the RMLEditor, a visual graph-based user interface, which allows users to easily create mapping rules for generating Linked Data from raw data. In this paper, we build on top of our existing work: we (i) specify a visual notation for graph visualizations used to represent mapping rules, (ii) introduce an approach for manipulating rules when large visualizations emerge, and (iii) propose an approach to uniformly visualize data fraction of raw data sources combined with an interactive interface for uniform data fraction transformations. We perform two additional comparative user studies. The first one compares the use of the visual notation to present mapping rules to the use of a mapping language directly, which reveals that the visual notation is preferred. The second one compares the use of the graph-based RMLEditor for creating mapping rules to the form-based RMLx Visual Editor, which reveals that graph-based visualizations are preferred to create mapping rules through the use of our proposed visual notation and uniform representation of heterogeneous data sources and data values.
