UN Global Pulse Niklas Elmqvist University of Maryland Visualization literacy is generally understood as “the abil- ity and skill to read and interpret visually represented data and to extract information from data visualizations.”1 Re- cently, it has become a central topic of discussion and research in the information visualization (infovis) community, as several works have shown that people can initially struggle to confi- dently extract information from graphics,2 or that they may not feel comfortable enough even with the most basic charts to prefer them over other media like text for simple data detection tasks.3 Academic efforts attempt to address and document this latent problem, referred to as visu- alization illiteracy.1,2,4,5 IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications Published by the IEEE Computer Society May/June 2018 21 0272-1716/18/$33.00 USD ©2018 IEEE IEEE COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND APPLICATIONS Figure 1. C'est la Vis is a tablet-based technology probe we co-designed with elementary teachers to support the teaching and learning of pictographs and bar charts in grades K-4, by revealing the relationships between concrete (i.e. set of elements) and more abstract (i.e. bar chart) representations of the same data. Our approach has been to explore how basic visualization principles and skills are taught, and learned at elementary school in the United States6 (see Figure 1). Here, we discuss three teaching paradoxes we identified, and the controversial role of technology in early education. We find these thought-provoking, and important to bring to the light of the infovis community, as they inspire a deeper reflection on the concept and definition of visualization literacy. This article serves as a first step towards reconciling efforts in infovis research with those of other disci- plines, while pursuing the overarching goal of improving visualization literacy levels of genera- tions to come. THE IMPORTANCE OF VISUALIZATION LITERACY It is both an exciting and daunting time for infovis research. Visual representations of data are omnipresent: people are routinely exposed to infographics online; news outlets enrich their arti- cles with more and more data graphics; and both for-profit and non-profit organizations alike in- creasingly use visualizations to present success or progress data to stakeholders. Yet, despite this exposure, readers seem to not systematically consider visually presented information when it is accompanied by other media like text (to which they may be more accustomed), nor do they al- ways spend the necessary time, or take the necessary precautions to interpret graphics correctly. They may enjoy a visualization for its aesthetic qualities, but completely oversee its meaning, or they may over-confidently rely on their visual judgment when estimating trends, even though these may have purposefully been visually inflated.5,7,8 The use of visual metaphors may also be prone to misinterpretation, or to manipulation by design (Figure 2). The bottom line is that decoding and understanding visualizations is a complex, multi-level ac- tivity requiring knowledge and skill that a significant portion of the population lacks. As infovis researchers, we believe it is our obligation to address this issue by providing the evidence to overcome the general belief that interpreting data graphics is an inherent and trivial skill. For ex- ample, while the idiom “a picture is worth a thousand words” conveys the idea that a visual de- piction can communicate a complex message more effectively than text, it also alludes to a persistent myth that pictures are always easier to understand than words. This misconception can lead to grave miscomprehension of information, as well as to important miscommunication. Figure 2. Several design issues can complicate or impede the correct interpretation of data graphics. (a) Use of nonstandard conventions; (b) use of uncommon conventions; (c) effects of perceptual bias (in this case larger geographical units overshadow other smaller regions); and (d) use of visual metaphors that may be deceiving. May/June 2018 22 www.computer.org/cga VISUALIZATION VIEWPOINTS VISUALIZATION LITERACY IN EARLY EDUCATION Our work has focused on what happens in the early stages of education: what do children learn about visual representations of data at elementary school? And how are they taught the princi- ples and skills required to interpret and create visualizations?6 We have amassed a rich set of empirical data from diverse sources, which we have compiled in a 2017 article on visualization literacy at elementary school.6 In this work, we created and analyzed a corpus of pedagogical artifacts to assess the types of, and to which extent visualizations are taught at elementary school. We curated and classified 2,600 data-driven graphics (out of about 5,000 visuals spread throughout 1,500 pages of con- tent), which we found in a collection of textbooks for grades K–4. We also gathered data from teachers to assess their pedagogic strategies. We conducted a survey with 16 teachers (grades K–4) to understand how much they rely on visual materials in class, and whether they perceive visualization as an important pedagogical tool. We also conducted partici- patory design sessions and focus groups with eight teachers to collect input on the way they de- sign teaching materials. Finally, we developed C’est la vis (Figure 2), a tablet-based technology probe that aims to sup- port the teaching and learning of pictographs and bar charts, which we deployed in two class- rooms (grades K and 2) to assess what children know about basic visualization principles, and how they learn them. Using this tool, we conducted multiple observation sessions, during which a total of 21 students used the probe in small groups (pairs or triples), each on their own tablet device. We were able to observe the class dynamics, as well as a variety of other activities that went on. Building on this, we focus on sharing the broader insights we gained from our immersion in the classroom environment while working closely with educators, and observing

  • The Fourth Paradigm
    ABOUT THE FOURTH PARADIGM This book presents the first broad look at the rapidly emerging field of data- THE FOUR intensive science, with the goal of influencing the worldwide scientific and com- puting research communities and inspiring the next generation of scientists. Increasingly, scientific breakthroughs will be powered by advanced computing capabilities that help researchers manipulate and explore massive datasets. The speed at which any given scientific discipline advances will depend on how well its researchers collaborate with one another, and with technologists, in areas of eScience such as databases, workflow management, visualization, and cloud- computing technologies. This collection of essays expands on the vision of pio- T neering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based H PARADIGM on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized. “The impact of Jim Gray’s thinking is continuing to get people to think in a new way about how data and software are redefining what it means to do science.” —Bill GaTES “I often tell people working in eScience that they aren’t in this field because they are visionaries or super-intelligent—it’s because they care about science The and they are alive now.

  • The Diversity of Data and Tasks in Event Analytics
    The Diversity of Data and Tasks in Event Analytics Catherine Plaisant, Ben Shneiderman Abstract— The growing interest in event analytics has resulted in an array of tools and applications using visual analytics techniques. As we start to compare and contrast approaches, tools and applications it will be essential to develop a common language to describe the data characteristics and diverse tasks. We propose a characterisation of event data along 3 dimensions (temporal characteristics, attributes and scale) and propose 8 high-level user tasks. We look forward to refining the lists based on the feedback of workshop attendees. KEYWORDS having the same time stamp, medical data are often Temporal analysis, pattern analysis, task analysis, taxonomy, big recorded in batches after the fact. data, temporal visualization o The relevant time scale may vary (from milliseconds to years), and may be homogeneous or not. INTRODUCTION o Data may represent changes over time of a status The growing interest in event analytics (e.g. Aigner et al, 2011; indicator, e.g. changes of cancer stages, student status or Shneiderman and Plaisant, 2016) has resulted in an array of novel physical presence in various hospital services, or may tools and applications using visual analytics techniques.

Howard II Michigan State University; University of Maryland University College 5.1 Introduction Steen and colleagues [42] made their Case for Quantitative Literacy based on the premise that the 21st-century, pri- marily due to technology changes, is a significantly more quantitative environment than any previous time in history. The design team who wrote the case made rhetorical observations about the increasing prevalence of numbers in society in the United States; phrases like [a] world awash in numbers [42] precede nearly every piece of literature regarding quantitative literacy (or numeracy). The authors used this rhetoric to position people relative to the demands of social systems in the world. Specifically, numeracy has emerged as a partner to literacy because the social world is being integrated with numbers due to recent technological advances. Steen argued that as the printing press gave the power of letters to the masses, so the computer gives the power of number to ordinary citizens [40, p.

Kirby, Member, IEEE, Christian Ledergerber, and Hanspeter Pfister, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract— Methods that faithfully and robustly capture the geometry of complex material interfaces in labeled volume data are im- portant for generating realistic and accurate visualizations and simulations of real-world objects. The generation of such multimaterial models from measured data poses two unique challenges: first, the surfaces must be well-sampled with regular, efficient tessella- tions that are consistent across material boundaries; and second, the resulting meshes must respect the nonmanifold geometry of the multimaterial interfaces. This paper proposes a strategy for sampling and meshing multimaterial volumes using dynamic particle systems, including a novel, differentiable representation of the material junctions that allows the particle system to explicitly sam- ple corners, edges, and surfaces of material intersections.
