Visualizing Scientific Inference
The sciences use a wide range of visual devices, practices, and imaging technologies. This diversity points to an important repertoire of visual methods that scientists use to adapt representations to meet the varied demands that their work places on cognitive processes. This paper identifies key features of the use of visualization in a range of scientific domains and considers the implication...
متن کاملVisualizing Inference
Graphical visualization has demonstrated enormous power in helping people to understand complexity in many branches of science. But, curiously, AI has been slow to pick up on the power of visualization. Alar is a visualization system intended to help people understand and control symbolic inference. Alar presents dynamically controllable node-and-arc graphs of concepts, and of assertions both s...
متن کاملVisualizing scientific paradigms: An introduction
This special topic issue includes a collection of seven articles on visualizing scientific paradigms. All articles in this special issue reflect the influence of Thomas Kuhn’s structure of scientific revolutions on our understanding of the growth of scientific knowledge. On the other hand, each article represents a unique perspective of how one may pursue the quest for transforming something as...
متن کاملVisualizing Inference in Bayesian Networks
Inference in Bayesian networks is used to calculate the posterior probability distributions of unobserved variables in a network. These posterior probability distributions are used to draw conclusions and are the basis for decisions, in the domain of a particular model. Inference is a complex process and can be difficult to understand for even the most experienced Bayesian network users. In thi...
متن کاملVisualizing Reputation and Recommendation in Scientific Literature
In this paper, we investigate the architecture for visual social navigation systems, especially those used in scientific literature. We identify the requirements for effective visualization of reputation and recommendation, two notions that underlie most social navigation systems. We present several designs of visual emphasis techniques addressing the dimension and scales of reputation, and two...
