Wakita Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A data visualization lab that makes data visible so it can be analyzed by eye.
AboutAbout the lab
Turning data into forms you can understand at a glance.
The Wakita Lab studies interactive data visualization techniques and visual analytics systems.
Data visualization has three pillars: scientific visualization, information visualization, and visual analytics. This lab works on the latter two.
For example, the lab is building a system that analyzes the reference relationships among math-related pages on the Japanese edition of Wikipedia, allowing users to grasp the overall structure of the articles.
Key terms
- Interactive
- Called taiwa-teki ("dialogue-like") in Japanese. A person manipulates the computer's output, and the output is regenerated in response, in a continuing exchange.
- Data visualization
- Techniques for presenting complex data on a two-dimensional plane or in three-dimensional space so that humans can understand it easily.
- Visual analytics
- Also called "visual analysis" in Japanese. Techniques that support solving problems in application fields through systems that use visualization technology.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies interactive data visualization techniques and visual analytics systems. Of the three pillars of visualization, it works on information visualization and visual analytics.
*Illustrative imageInformation visualization
Abstract things such as concepts, ideas, cultures, technologies, and events are not anchored to physical coordinate axes. The lab devises appropriate layouts based on the relatedness, similarity, and causal relationships among the contents.
*Illustrative imageVisual analytics
Simply looking at a picture does not mean that one understands things. The lab builds systems that support the whole process of analyzing and organizing visualized information and connecting it to decision-making.
