Workshop  on Visualization for Predictive Analytics: Call For Participation


Co-Located with IEEE VIS'14 | Paris 9-14 Nov, 2014

http://predictive-workshop.github.io/


SUBMISSION: Sep. 15, 2014

PARTICIPATION: The workshop is open to all VIS 2014 attendees

FOR INQUIRIES: predva.workshop at gmail.com


What is the use of visualization in prediction? How do people use
visualization in predictive modeling? How can we improve the state of the
art in predictive visual analytics?


We invite the submissions of *short technical or position papers* (between
1-4 pages) to explore the use of visualization in prediction and showcase
existing research.


TECHNICAL PAPERS - May include, but are not limited to the following:


Novel Visual Analytics or Visualization Techniques

* How to assist predictive development, evaluation and communication

* Visual analytics techniques for predictive models such as regression and
classification

* Visual analytics techniques for clustering

* Visual analytics techniques for high-dimensional data

* Interactive visualization for refining predictive models


Applications and Case Studies

* Real-world problems and experiences from public sectors and industry

* Predictive visual analytics in business, technology, healthcare, finance,
telecommunications, etc.

* Predictive visual analytics applications in public sectors such as
government, development, security, etc.

Theory/Methods/Modeling/Evaluation

* Real and synthetic data sets and benchmarks

* Taxonomies of predictive tasks in visualization

* Evaluation and testing in predictive visual analytics


POSITION PAPERS - May include, but are not limited to, visionary ideas
addressing topics such as:


* What's the use of visualization in prediction tasks?

* How can visualization help data scientists make sense of predictive
models?

* How can end users be sure predictive models are made of domain-relevant
features?

* How can visual analytics help researchers include their domain knowledge
into the modeling process?

* How do we build benchmark datasets and ground truth to objectively
compare different predictive model visualizations?

* What are good and suitable processes to ensure usefulness of predictive
models?

* How can we use visual analytics to “explain” patterns derived from
predictive models?

* How can we use predictive models as discovery tools?

* How can visualization help modelers gain trust into their results?

* Is visualization needed at all?

* Where is the boundary between predictive, explanatory and exploratory
analysis?
