  • INTERACTIVE EXPLORATION of TEMPORAL EVENT SEQUENCES Krist Wongsuphasawat Doctor of Philosophy, 2012
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: INTERACTIVE EXPLORATION OF TEMPORAL EVENT SEQUENCES Krist Wongsuphasawat Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Ben Shneiderman Department of Computer Science Life can often be described as a series of events. These events contain rich in- formation that, when put together, can reveal history, expose facts, or lead to discov- eries. Therefore, many leading organizations are increasingly collecting databases of event sequences: Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), transportation incident logs, student progress reports, web logs, sports logs, etc. Heavy investments were made in data collection and storage, but difficulties still arise when it comes to making use of the collected data. Analyzing millions of event sequences is a non-trivial task that is gaining more attention and requires better support due to its complex nature. Therefore, I aimed to use information visualization techniques to support exploratory data analysis|an approach to analyzing data to formulate hypothe- ses worth testing|for event sequences. By working with the domain experts who were analyzing event sequences, I identified two important scenarios that guided my dissertation: First, I explored how to provide an overview of multiple event sequences? Lengthy reports often have an executive summary to provide an overview of the report. Unfortunately, there was no executive summary to provide an overview for event sequences. Therefore, I designed LifeFlow, a compact overview visualization that summarizes multiple event sequences, and interaction techniques that supports users' exploration. Second, I examined how to support users in querying for event sequences when they are uncertain about what they are looking for. To support this task, I developed similarity measures (the M&M measure 1-2 ) and user interfaces (Similan 1-2 ) for querying event sequences based on similarity, allowing users to search for event sequences that are similar to the query.

  • Risk Detection and Prediction from Indoor Tracking Data
    Risk Detection and Prediction from Indoor Tracking Data Tanvir Ahmed1, Toon Calders2,3, Hua Lu4, Torben Bach Pedersen4 1RadioAnalyzer ApS, Denmark 2University of Antwerp, 3Universite´ Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium 4Aalborg University, Denmark Abstract Technologies such as RFID and Bluetooth have received considerable attention for tracking indoor moving objects. In a time-critical indoor tracking scenario such as airport baggage handling, a bag has to move through a sequence of locations until it is loaded into the aircraft. Inefficiency or inaccuracy at any step can make the bag risky, i.e., the bag may be delayed at the airport or sent to a wrong airport. In this paper, we discuss a risk detection and a risk prediction method for such kinds of indoor moving objects. We propose a data mining methodology for detecting risk factors from RFID baggage tracking data. The factors should identify potential issues in the baggage management. The paper presents the essential steps for pre-processing the unprocessed raw tracking data and discusses how to deal with the class imbalance problem present in the data set. Next, we propose an online risk prediction system for time constrained indoor moving objects, e.g., baggage in an airport. The target is to predict the risk of an object in real-time during its operation so that it can be saved before being mishandled. We build a probabilistic flow graph that captures object flow and transition times using least duration probability histograms, which in turn is used to obtain a risk score of an online object in risk prediction. 1 Introduction Technologies such as RFID and Bluetooth enable a variety of indoor, outdoor, and mixed indoor-outdoor tracking applications.
