COMPREHENDING VISUAL INFORMATION
IN THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE
Human-Data Interaction

Data Science, Data Curation, and Human-Data Interaction
Data Science, Data Curation, and Human-Data Interaction
Observations
• Figures in the literature are the currency of
scientific ideas
• Almost entirely unexplored
• Our thought: Mine patterns in the visual
literature
Step 1: Dismantling Composite Figures
Poshen Lee
ICPRAM 2015
Step 2: Classification
• Divide images into small patches
• Take a random sample
• Run k-means on samples (k = 200)
• For each figure in training set, generate
a length-200 feature vector by similarity
to clusters. Train a model.
• For each test image, create the vector
and classify by the model
Data Science, Data Curation, and Human-Data Interaction
Do high-impact papers have fewer equations,
as indicated by Fawcett and Higginson? (Yes)
Poshen LeeJevin West
high impact papers low impact papers
Do high-impact papers have more diagrams?
(Yes)
Poshen LeeJevin West
Do papers in top journals tend to involve
more or less visual information? (More) Poshen LeeJevin West

Recap
• “Human-Data Interaction” is the bottleneck!
– SQLShare: Mining SQL logs to uncover user
behavior
– Myria/RACO: Polystore Optimization
– Deep Curation: Zero-training labeling of scientific
datasets
– Viziometrics: Mining the scientific literature
– Voyager: Visualization Recommendation
– GossipMap: Scalable Graph Clustering

• OCCs:Big Data / Database researcher with broad impact and expertise in research data management,
• Democratizing Data Science
– Ourselves: Reduce overhead in attention-scarce regimes
– Other fields: Reduce overhead of interdisciplinary research
– The public: Reduce overhead of communicating with the public and policymakers
• SQLShare
– Why? What? Impact?
– Key: RDM, NSF-funded, hundreds of users
– Are these workloads any different than a typical database?
• HaLoop
– Why? What? Impact?
– Key: Papers, new subfield in big data
• Myria
– Why? What? Impact?
– Key: Funding
• Viziometrics
– Why? What? Impact?
• Data Curation through an Algorithmic Lens
– Why? What? Impact?
– Volume, variety, velocity. Volume: tasks that scale with the number of records: movement, validation. Variety: tasks that scale with the number of datasets:
metadata attachment, cataloging, metadata verfication. Velocity: tasks that scale with the time since release. Data journalism, legal cases
– Example? Maxim’s work. Prevalence of missing and incorrect labels.
– Is this dataset what it says it is?
– Why? Reproducibility crisis
– Is this fully automatic? No. Training data, computational steering

– Can you get it if you know where to look?
• Discoverable
– Can you get it if you don’t know where to look?
• Manipulable
– What can you do with it, besides download it? Can the structure be
readily parsed and transformed?
• Interpretable
– Is the information internally consistent with respect to provenance,
metadata, column names, etc.?
• Contextualizable
– Is the information externally consistent with respect to other related
datasets? Can it be connected to other datasets through standards or
conventions? Does it admit connections to other datasets

1) Preparing to run a model
2) Running the model
3) Interpreting the results
Gathering, cleaning, integrating, restructuring, transforming,
loading, filtering, deleting, combining, merging, verifying,
extracting, shaping, massaging
“80% of the work”

“The other 80% of the work”
How much time do you spend “handling
data” as opposed to “doing science”?
Mode answer: “90%”

  • 51. Recap • “Human-Data Interaction” is the bottleneck! – SQLShare: Mining SQL logs to uncover user behavior – Myria/RACO: Polystore Optimization – Deep Curation: Zero-training labeling of scientific datasets – Viziometrics: Mining the scientific literature – Voyager: Visualization Recommendation – GossipMap: Scalable Graph Clustering
  • 53. • OCCs:Big Data / Database researcher with broad impact and expertise in research data management, • Democratizing Data Science – Ourselves: Reduce overhead in attention-scarce regimes – Other fields: Reduce overhead of interdisciplinary research – The public: Reduce overhead of communicating with the public and policymakers • SQLShare – Why? What? Impact? – Key: RDM, NSF-funded, hundreds of users – Are these workloads any different than a typical database? • HaLoop – Why? What? Impact? – Key: Papers, new subfield in big data • Myria – Why? What? Impact? – Key: Funding • Viziometrics – Why? What? Impact? • Data Curation through an Algorithmic Lens – Why? What? Impact? – Volume, variety, velocity. Volume: tasks that scale with the number of records: movement, validation. Variety: tasks that scale with the number of datasets: metadata attachment, cataloging, metadata verfication. Velocity: tasks that scale with the time since release. Data journalism, legal cases – Example? Maxim’s work. Prevalence of missing and incorrect labels. – Is this dataset what it says it is? – Why? Reproducibility crisis – Is this fully automatic? No. Training data, computational steering

Can the structure be readily parsed and transformed? • Interpretable – Is the information internally consistent with respect to provenance, metadata, column names, etc.? • Contextualizable – Is the information externally consistent with respect to other related datasets? Can it be connected to other datasets through standards or conventions? Does it admit connections to other datasets
