Parallel Sets View
• Parallel Sets– Displays
relationships among categorical dimensions
– Shows intersections and distributions of categories
6 / 17
Parallel Sets View
• Dynamic filtering on continuous dimensions can show more information
• Here we see the large proportion of facility attacks and bombings in Latin America during the early 1980s

Entity Comparison
• Uses the algorithm “Longest Common Subsequence” (LCS) to identify similar patterns

Grouping using MDS in 2D
• Each o represents a terrorist group
• Groups form cluster according to naturally occurring trend sizes
• Clusters are easily visible

Future Work
• Event-based video analysis
• Smart Visual GTD– Collaboration with Daniel Kiem (Univ Konstanz,
Germany)– Multimedia Analysis
• Collaboration with PNNL (A. Sanfilipo, W. Pike)• Analyzes (layout of) webpages, videos, images, and
unstructured texts.• Tracking temporal changes

Entity Comparison• Two strings of data (each representing a series of events)
– GATCCAGT– GTACACTGAG
• Basic algorithm returns length of longest common subsequence: 6
• Can return trace of subsequence if desired:–GTCCAG
• GATCCAGT• GTACACTGAG
• Additional variations can take into account event gap penalties, time gap penalties, and exploration of shorter, or alternate, common subsequences
