  2. Outline • Motivation • Practical Approach • Outlook 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 2

  3. 1 Motivation • Trends • Content-based search and presentation available for many document types • Text documents • Digital image, video, audio, etc. • Repositories for new kinds of non-textural documents • Like scientific primary data • PANGAEA, PsychData, Dryad, ELEXIR,KoLaWiss • Information overload: need for visual retrieval and data exploration 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 3

  4. 1 Motivation • Time-oriented scientific primary data • Massive amounts of time-oriented scientific primary data that may be valuable for future research • Heterogenity of standards in different research disciplines • Exploration of scientific primary data repositories currently restricted to “meta-search” PANGAEA PanPlot Tool. (http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.330147) 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 4

  5. 1 Motivation • Development of a Visual Catalog for time series data • Interactive-graphic access to huge amounts of scientific primary data • Combination of content-based, and meta data retrieval • Explorative data analysis by searching, browsing and zooming techniques • User-adaptive search methods • Establish higher data transparency and deeper user comprehension 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 5

  6. 1 Motivation • Possible Use Case Scenario • Natural scientist detects interesting curve progression • Hypothesis: curve progression indicates future event • Search for similar curve progressions in related data sets • Visual overview of the most similar data elements • Filter result set, adapt the reference example 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 6

  7. Outline • Motivation • Practical Approach • Outlook 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 7

  8. 2.1 Overview Back End Front End Bernard, J. and Brase, J. and Fellner, D. and Koepler, O. and Kohlhammer, J. and Ruppert, T. and Schreck, T. and Sens, I.A Visual Digital Library Approach for Time-Oriented Scientic Primary Data. Accepted at the 14th European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL), 2010 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 8

  9. 2.2 Data Import • Parse primary data • Initialy: use Pangaea data files • In principle: inclusion of additional repositories by customized data parsers • Define a generic time series data structure • Feature based approach • Store meta data as „bag of words“ • Special attributes: time stamp, • parameter/unit • Defined data base schema • MySQL data base • Efficient data management 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 9

  10. 2.3 Preprocessing • Problem: time series primary data may not be directly applicable for clustering, consider: • Outliers, noise • Missingvalues • formatof time stamps in datafiles • Inhomogenous time quantization, timestampcompatibility • Possible approaches • Aggregation (binning) • Transformation • Interpolation 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 10

  11. 2.4 Feature Extraction • Descriptors: representations of time series in a reduced dimensionality space • Basis for similarity measures (clustering, indexing, search) • Problem: full sequence vs. sub sequence search • Huge amount of descriptors published, suitable descriptor approaches: • Binning, (current approach), Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT), Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT), SAX-Descriptor (symbolic representation) Lin, J. and Keogh, E. and Lonardi, S. and Chiu, B. : A symbolic representation of time series, with implications for streaming algorithms. Proceedings of the 8th ACM SIGMOD workshop on Research issues in data mining and knowledge discovery, 2003 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 11

  12. 2.5 Visual Catalog • Visualization of clustering results (global und local) • Self-organizing Map as a basis for smart visualization of huge amounts of time series • Provide a single grid view for details (zooming) • We also explore other layout algorithms 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 12

  13. 2.5 Visual Catalog • Visual-interactive time series search • Query by example, query by sketch • Problem: fullsequence vs. subsequence search • Colormaps for the indication of similarity • List-based visualizations for result sets • Save session, export results 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 13

  14. 2.5 Visual Catalog • Meta data search • Additional search functionality, combination with content-based search • Search by „Bag of words“ • Search by special attributes • Physical unit, example: temperature, humidity, etc. • Use time stamp: define time interval and quantization • Combine multiple search operations: filtering Filtering 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 14

  15. Outline • Motivation • Practical Approach • Outlook 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 15

  16. 3 Outlook • Summary • WGL-TIB project: visual access to scientific primary data • Project start: 01/2010, project duration: 3 years • Facing time-series data • Feature-based descriptor approach • Interfaces for visualization, browsing and search 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 16

  17. 3 Outlook • Requirements, use-cases and evaluation model (TIB Hannover) • Test visual catalog prototype with real world problems • Collaboration with scientific users to capture user view • User in the loop approach • Technical future work (GRIS, FhG) • Establish an application prototype • Similarity search operations, based on evaluation results • Special user interface 27.08.2014 | Interactive-Graphics Systems | Visual Search and Analysis Group | Jürgen Bernard | 17
