Adaptive Semantics Visualization

This bookintroduces a novel approach for intelligent visualizations that adapts thedifferent visual variables and data processing to human s behavior and giventasks. Thereby a number of new algorithms and methods are introduced to satisfythe human need of information and knowledge and enable a usable and attractiveway of information acquisition. Each method and algorithm is illustrated in areplicable way to enable the reproduction of the entire SemaVis system orparts of it. The introduced evaluation is scientifically well-designed andperformed with more than enough participants to validate the benefits of themethods. Beside the introduced new approaches and algorithms, readers may finda sophisticated literature review in Information Visualization and VisualAnalytics, Semantics and information extraction, and intelligent and adaptivesystems. This book is based on an awarded and distinguished doctoral thesis incomputer science.
