Weekly work breakdown: 2 days MAGI/2 days HMS/1 day graphical perception
* '''MAGI Collaboration'''
** Submit to Nature Methods as co-author
** Release GD3 genomics visualization library
** '''Sep 23:''' have list of potential research directions
** '''Sep 30:''' distribute MAGI to observation group

* '''Harvard Med Collaboration'''
** '''Sep 19:''' Meet at HMS; outcome: list of specific potential projects
** '''Oct 1:''' Decide on project and send out project outline
** '''End of semester:''' demo functioning prototype
** Outcomes for us:
*** Technique paper on intelligent visual summarization (e.g., accordion mutation matrix attached) using measures like Hamming distance and then more complicated measures to intelligently bin data
*** Short paper on GD3, a generalized genomics visualization toolkit
*** Written log of scenarios and case studies supporting usefulness of an n-color palette generator
** Less polished outcomes for us:
*** Technique for n-wise visualization comparison. Could use interactive filtering or a rendering option to show commonly wanted signatures in data
*** Technique for creating visualization thumbnails using 1000s of SV visualizations as one usage example
** Outcomes for the compbio/bio folks:
*** Deployment of a flexible, reusable visualization library supporting common data formats that eliminates the need to write visualization code for many types of data (GD3)
*** Completion of an interactive tool for analyzing/exploring SV data, aimed at reducing the time spent generating and manually searching through all pairwise combination of SV algorithm output.
**** HMS post-doc said this accounted for 2/3 of his work over the past three months because there's no fast/automated way to do it right now, and it's inherently a visual-based task

* '''Graphical Perception'''
** Have Karen/MTurk experiment results by Sep 12
** Incorporate color saliency mapping into color palette model
** '''End of semester:''' Have LCH-based model running with short paper length description of the model

* '''Other'''
** Give a great talk at VIS
** Redo website before VIS
** Dissertation planning: by end of semester have a written plan on how to tie together graphical perception and genomics viz research
