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...

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..

Genetic analysis of a breeding animal population involves determining the inheritance pattern of genotypes for multiple genetic markers across the individuals in the population pedigree structure. However, experimental pedigree genotype data invariab... Read More about Visualising errors in animal pedigree genotype data.

A survey of multiple tree visualisation. (2010)
Journal Article
Graham, M., & Kennedy, J. (2010). A survey of multiple tree visualisation. Information Visualization, 9, 235-252. https://doi.org/10.1057/ivs.2009.29

This paper summarises the state-of-the-art in multiple tree visualisations. It discusses the spectrum of current representation techniques used on single trees, pairs of trees and finally multiple trees, in order to identify which representations are...
