When Visualization Met Augmented Reality Dieter Schmalstieg Institute of and Vision at Graz University of Technology, Austria Tuesday, 23 October 2018, 11:20 AM–12:20 PM @ Convention Hall 1, Section C+D

Abstract In the past year, Augmented Reality (AR) has been introduced in several products of premier technol- ogy companies, addressing billions of mobile computing users. In particular, a new breed of AR games is engaging and visually appealing. In contrast, non-entertainment applications of AR generally tend to lack sophisticated content. This can be related to the fact that AR developers are only learning how to effec- tively use the new medium. But it also has to do with the lack of overlap in AR research and visualization research. While AR research has mostly been driven by computer vision with minimal consideration of the visual output, VIS is the field where the perceptual and cognitive foundations of visual information are studied. AR needs VIS! As AR matures, it will be vital to bring the two fields together. VIS needs to address the new medium AR, embracing its two key aspects: mobility and mixed real+virtual perception. AR poses new challenges for VIS, as the visual information needs to adapt to reality rather than shaping the entire visual domain. This talk will discuss fundamental properties of AR visualization and present examples of previous, current and future work.

Can I Believe What I See? Information-Theoretic Algorithm Validation Joachim M. Buhmann Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich Friday, 26 October 2018, 11:00 AM–12:00 PM @ Convention Hall 1, Section C

Abstract Data Science promises us a methodology and algorithms to gain insights in ubiquitous Big Data. Sophisticated algorithmic techniques seek to identify and visualize non-accidental patterns that may be (causally) linked to mechanisms in the natural sciences, but also in the social sciences, medicine, technol- ogy, and governance. When we use machine learning algorithms to inspect the often high-dimensional, uncertain, and high-volume data to filter out and visualize relevant information, we aim to abstract from accidental factors in our experiments and thereby generalize over data fluctuations. Doing this, we often rely on highly nonlinear algorithms. This talk presents arguments advocating an information-theoretic framework for algorithm analysis, where an algorithm is characterized as a computational evolution of a posterior distribution on the output space with a quantitative stopping criterion. The method allows us to investigate complex data analysis pipelines, such as those found in computational neuroscience, neurology, and molecular biology. I will demonstrate this concept for the validation of algorithms using the example of a statistical analysis of diffusion tensor data. In addition, on the example of gene expression data, I will demonstrate how different spectral clustering methods can be validated by showing their robustness to data fluctua- tions and yet sufficient sensitivity to changes in the data. All in all, an information-theoretical method is presented for validating data analysis algorithms, offering the potential of more trustful results in Visual Analytics.

Bio Joachim M. Buhmann is full professor in the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich since 2003 representing the research area “ and Engineering”. He studied physics at the Technical University of Munich and received a doctoral degree for his research work on artificial neural networks. After research appointments at the University of Southern California (1988-1991) and at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (1991-1992) he served as a professor for applied computer science at the University of Bonn (1992-2003). His research interests range from statistical learning theory to applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Research projects are focused on topics in neurosci- ence, biology and medical sciences, as well as signal processing and computer vision. He headed the German Society for Pattern Recognition (DAGM e.V.) from 2009-15 and was elected as their honorary member in 2017. In 2014-17 he served as Vice-Rector for Study Programmes at ETH Zurich. The Swiss Academy of Technical Sciences SATW elected him as a regular member in 2017. He serves also as a research council member of the Swiss National Science Foundation.
