    Projects of Ben Shneiderman:

    Network Visualization

• Network Visualization by Semantic Substrates
  Network analysts may benefit from meaningful and stable layouts for nodes in 1-5 defined regions. Then users control link visibility to reduce clutter and see patterns of relationships. Our major application has been citations among U.S. Supreme, Circuit and District Court cases.

• SocialAction
  SocialAction is a social network visualization that provides analysts systematic and flexible techniques for exploration.

• Graph Visualization
  A list of HCIL projects related to Graph Visualization.

• NodeXL
  This open source network visualization tool, Network Overview for Discovery and Exploration in Excel, is embedded in Excel. This enables a much wider range of users to have convenient access to a richly featured platform with network metrics, dynamic query filters, and multiple layout strategies.

    Topic Summarization

• iOPENER 
  The goal of iOPENER (Information Organization for PENning Expositions on Research) is to generate readily-consumable surveys of different scientific domains and topics, targeted to different audiences and levels, e.g., expert specialists, scientists from related disciplines, educators, students, government decision makers, and citizens including minorities and underrepresented groups.

    Electronic Health Records Search & Visualization

• Lifelines2
  Exploring temporal patterns in categorical data. We focus on Electronic Health Records and helping users find potential cause and effects phenomena in databases of patient records

• PatternFinder
  Integrated interface for visual query and result-set visualization for search and discovery of temporal patterns within multivariate and categorical data sets.

• PatternFinder in AMALGA
  Temporal Query Formulation and Result Visualization in Action

• Similan: Finding Similar Records from Temporal Categorical Data
  Similan is a temporal categorical data analysis tool that helps users find similar records from temporal categorical data. By implementing similarity metric computation and adopting ideas from rank-by-feature framework to rank records by similarity, Similan provides an interactive interface to customize and visualize similarity search results.

• Science 2.0: Studying Collaboration in Socio-Technical Systems
