Cognitive Modeling and Eye-tracking/NSF Proposal

2015 Proposal Info

RFP

The IIS RFP is available at: https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13707

NSF IIS Deadlines

• MEDIUM Projects: September 10 - September 16, Annually Thereafter
• LARGE Projects: September 18 - September 24, Annually Thereafter
• SMALL Projects: November 4 - November 18, Annually Thereafter

Minutes

6/26

Weaknesses in Expedition:

• Genomics area lacking details; visualization examples
• Genomics applications not cohesive enough
  • Possibly cut Rand, epigenetics
  • Possibly cut Benoist, ImmGen
• [Build on this] Application areas can be strengthened
  • Badre application need update/more specification

Strengths:

• Reviewers liked "Personalization of visualization complexity based on user expertise"
  • [Build on this] What models are needed to achieve this?
• Reviewers liked "Automatic suggestions of visualizations based on user task"
  • Constructing and integrating a predictive model of user's goal based on query and browsing history
  • [Build on this] Related to Hua's proposed model of Exploratory and Focused Search stages

Ideas for new content:

• Get the Yurt involved
• 2D visualizations in the Yurt? (e.g., D3, web-based)
