On this page the members of the VRL record and refine their goals for the current semester. This is a living document in which dhl will provide feedback. See the bottom of the page for links to past plans & goals documents.
Current Schedule
Meetings are on Mondays. The authoritative list is in dhl's calendar.
Current Plans and Goals (Fall '15)
Connor
Boldfaced goals are those that mark the high-level success of each project.
Dissertation
- By June 5: send out complete first draft to dissertation committee
- By August 5: send out complete first draft to dissertation committee
- By September 4: schedule proposal date
Genomics
- Weekly: check up on MAGI interaction logs and process them through BLADE to verify collection is going smoothly
- By June 26: respond to VIS review feedback
- By June 30: complete MAGI view redesign and accompanying logging refactor
- By June 30: create local MAGI annotation development sandbox for ETA development
(VIS paper rejections = reshuffle)
- By July 27: complete genomics paper rewrite
- By July 31: create local MAGI annotation development sandbox for ETA development
- By August 12: create stand-alone ETA prototype that displays querryable network with annotation overlay
- By September 4: draft a high-level ETA contribution document to ID ultimate project direction (e.g., drop topic modeling)
Color
- By June 26: respond to VIS review feedback
- By June 30: prototype D3 decomposition-by-category feature of Colorgorical
- By July 10: prototype new Colorgorical scoring functions using Bayesian optimization procedure
- By August 7: complete integration of new scoring functions into Colorgorical
(VIS paper rejections = reshuffle)
- By July 27: complete colorgorical paper rewrite
- By August 21: integrate new Colorgorical scoring functions using Bayesian optimization procedure
- By September 4: prototype D3 decomposition-by-category feature of Colorgorical
Other
- Cut back on non-dissertation projects to 20% time by end of summer
Hua
- Cog grant proposal
- By Sep. 11: take one pass through the proposal to resolve any inconsistency in contents
- BraiNet implementation
- By Oct. 30: implement basic corpus analysis functionalities
- (By Sep. 18) Context-based retrieval: given a block of texts, use techniques such as latent semantic analysis or topic modeling to extract relevant key terms
- (By Sep. 25) Three way linking between primary texts (e.g. a word document, a piece of plain text, a bibtex file), concepts and evidence, and annotations
- (By Oct. 9) Support search within a small set of publications provided by the user (e.g. a bibtex file)
- (By Oct. 23) Meet with Badre for feedback
- (By Oct. 30) Case papers: lets the user specify case papers in addition to supplying texts or terms; the tool will then use the case papers as constraints and return a set of papers where the set 1) is a subset of all papers associated with the given texts or terms; 2) contains the case papers; 3) is as small as possible.
- By Nov. 27: implement literature corpus visualizations
- (By Nov. 13) theme river visualization that shows how a set of concepts contained in a body of texts (e.g. a grant proposal; a notebook kept by the researcher) evolves over time - what concepts have been added / removed? how much evidence has been added for each concept?
- (By Nov. 27) refined user interface for exploring the set of concepts and evidence (network visualization?)
- By Oct. 30: implement basic corpus analysis functionalities
- Two VIS talks
- By Oct. 2: give practice talks to the speech and writing coach
- By Oct. 9: give practice talks to scivis / dhlgroup
- By Oct. 30: deliver the talks at VIS!
- Event sequence visualization paper
- By Sep. 11: first draft of the blog post sent
- BraiNet user study
- By Dec 4: run a pilot study with two participants
- By Dec 11: study design refined based on pilot study
