Plans and Goals
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 '14)
Connor
- MAGI Collaboration
- Submit to Nature Methods as co-author
- Release GD3 genomics visualization library
- By September 30 distribute MAGI to observation group
- Harvard Med Collaboration
- September 19: Meet at HMS; outcome: list of specific potential projects
- Oct 1: Decide on project and send out project outline
- Demo functioning prototype by end of semester
- 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
- 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
