Current Plans and Goals (Fall '10)

Caroline

Get oriented

  • Find out current status of framework
  • Acquaint myself with any existing modules / code / results
  • Find out who else will be working on it or has worked on it, meet with them
  • Literature review
  • Learn CPM-GOMS, refresh on ACT-R

Do whatever needs to be done to get framework going

Create a test module based on my earlier implied dynamics work [1]

  • Model a dynamics-based assessment of relationships between parts of simple visualizations
  • Test whether this can predict users' actual evaluations of a chart's structural properties
  • Maybe rethink to tie in more to affordances, interface prediction

Identify other potential modeling projects based on visual structure for future work...

  • Predicting the patterns (trends, clusters, etc.) a user sees in a visualization
  • Modeling how quickly a user can read high-level information from different vis types
  • Analyze interaction affordances in a visualization system

Get funded

  • Work on grant proposal
  • Find and apply for fellowships / postdoc grants
