Visual techniques to support exploratory analysis of temporal graph data. (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Kerracher, N., Kennedy, J., Chalmers, K., & Graham, M. (2015). Visual techniques to support exploratory analysis of temporal graph data. In E. Bertini, J. Kennedy, & E. Puppo (Eds.), Proceedings of the Eurographics Conference on Visualization (EuroVis '15), Short Papers Track (103-107). https://doi.org/10.2312/eurovisshort.20151133

Recently, much research has focused on developing techniques for the visual representation of temporal graph data. This paper takes a wider look at the visual techniques involved in exploratory analysis of such data, considering the variety of sub ta...

Helium: visualization of large scale plant pedigrees (2014)
Journal Article
Shaw, P., Graham, M., Kennedy, J., Milne, I., & Marshall, D. F. (2014). Helium: visualization of large scale plant pedigrees. BMC Bioinformatics, 15, Article 259. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-15-259

Plant breeders use an increasingly diverse range of data types to identify lines with desirable characteristics suitable to be taken forward in plant breeding programmes. There are a number of key morphological and physiological traits, such as disea... Read More about Helium: visualization of large scale plant pedigrees.

Pianola - visualization of multivariate time-series security event data. (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Thomson, A., Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2013). Pianola - visualization of multivariate time-series security event data. In Proceedings of IV2013 (123-131). https://doi.org/10.1109/IV.2013.15

Monitoring log files for network intrusions is unwieldy. To build a mental model of the log, an analyst is required to recognise continuous timelines and attack patterns from a dataset that is essentially limited to an ordered list of events. Informa...

Visual cleaning of genotype data. (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Kennedy, J., Graham, M., Paterson, T., & Law, A. (2013). Visual cleaning of genotype data. In Proceedings of BioVis 2013 (105-112). https://doi.org/10.1109/BioVis.2013.6664353

While some data cleaning tasks can be performed automatically, many more require expert human guidance to steer the cleaning process, especially if erroneous or unclean data is a product of relationships between entities. An example is pedigree genot... Read More about Visual cleaning of genotype data..

VIPER: a visualisation tool for exploring inheritance inconsistencies in genotyped pedigrees (2012)
Journal Article
Paterson, T., Graham, M., Kennedy, J., & Law, A. (2012). VIPER: a visualisation tool for exploring inheritance inconsistencies in genotyped pedigrees. BMC Bioinformatics, 13/8, https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-13-S8-S5

Pedigree genotype datasets are used for analysing genetic inheritance and to map genetic markers and traits. Such datasets consist of hundreds of related animals genotyped for thousands of genetic markers and invariably contain multiple errors in bot...
