In doing so, the user starts a conversation with the chatbot and can specify the request by further inquiry. Due to the developments in the field of NLP in recent years, algorithmic text comprehension has been significantly improved. As a result, chatbots are increasingly used by companies and other institutions for various tasks such as order processes or service requests. Knowledge bases are often used to answer users queries, but these are usually curated manually in various text files, prone to errors. Visual methods can help the expert to identify common problems in the knowledge base and can provide an overview of the chatbot system. In this paper, we present Chatbot Explorer, a system to visually assist the expert to understand, explore, and manage a knowledge base of different chatbot systems. For this purpose, we provide a tree-based visualization of the knowledge base as an overview. For a detailed analysis, the expert can use appropriate visualizations to drill down the analysis to the level of individual elements of a specific story to identify problems within the knowledge base. We support the expert with automatic detection of possible problems, which can be visually highlighted. Additionally, the expert can also change the order of the queries to optimize the conversation lengths and it is possible to add new content. To develop our solution, we have conducted an iterative design process with domain experts and performed two user evaluations. The evaluations and the feedback from our domain experts have shown that our solution can significantly improve the maintainability of chatbot knowledge bases.}, author = {Alrik Hausdorf and Lydia M{\"u}ller and Gerik Scheuermann and Andreas Niekler and Daniel Wiegreffe} } @conference {928, title = {Detecting critical points in 2D scalar field ensembles using Bayesian inference}, booktitle = {2022 IEEE 15th Pacific Visualization Symposium (PacificVis)}, year = {2022}, month = {April}, abstract = {In an era of quickly growing data set sizes, information reduction methods such as extracting or highlighting characteristic features become more and more important for data analysis. For single scalar fields, topological methods can fill this role by extracting and relating critical points. While such methods are regularly employed to study single scalar fields, it is less well studied how they can be extended to uncertain data, as produced, e.g., by ensemble simulations. Motivated by our previous work on visualization in climate research, we study new methods to characterize critical points in ensembles of 2D scalar fields. Previous work on this topic either assumed or required specific distributions, did not account for uncertainty introduced by approximating the underlying latent distributions by a finite number of fields, or did not allow to answer all our domain experts{\textquoteright} questions. In this work, we use Bayesian inference to estimate the probability of critical points, either of the original ensemble or its bootstrapped mean. This does not make any assumptions on the underlying distribution and allows to estimate the sensitivity of the results to finite-sample approximations of the underlying distribution. We use color mapping to depict these probabilities and the stability of their estimation. The resulting images can, e.g., be used to estimate how precise the critical points of the mean-field are. We apply our method to synthetic data to validate its theoretical properties and compare it with other methods in this regard.

The interface of the hybrid part is of particular importance in design, production, and testing due to its force-transferring function. The special feature of the intrinsic connection is a thermoplastic jacket around the metal insert. It dampens vibrations, inhibits corrosions, and smoothens the stiffness gradient at the interface of metal and CFRP. A punched metal insert guarantees the suitability for mass production in the automotive industry, while the plastic jacket maintains a fiber adjusted geometry as well as a structured surface to maximize the joint strength. Load paths, stress distribution, and good drapability are taken into account. Finite element (FE) simulations and experiments are used to design and dimension the insert. Novel FE visualization methods for constructive design are developed and applied. The investigation of design elements on the mesoscale (mm) and microscale ({\textmu}m) surface roughness shows improvements of the load transfer and reduces the damage propagation. The intrinsic manufacturing is carried out by means of the resin transfer molding (RTM) process. Inline quality assurance starts with the inspection of the preform geometry. The data from two laser light section sensors are used for in-line measurements of complex 3D geometries. Ultrasonic sensors are used to check the curing degree of the resin during the infiltration. Afterwards, in-line quality assurance of the finished hybrid component is carried out by data fusion of laser light section sensors and active thermography. The data fusion enables a three-dimensional representation of the thermographic image and, thus, also a three-dimensional defect localization. Active and passive thermography are suitable for characterizing the component under various load conditions. Damages can be reliably detected using active thermography, while passive thermography allows the in-situ observation of the damage propagation. This allows a detailed insight into the damage mechanisms under quasi-static and cyclic load.

Typical disciplines generating multivariate data are fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, geology, bioengineering, and climate research. Quite often, scientists are interested in the relation between some of these variables. A popular visualization technique for a single scalar field is the extraction and rendering of isosurfaces. With this technique, the domain can be split into two parts, i.e. a volume with higher values and one with lower values than the selected isovalue. Fiber surfaces generalize this concept to two or three scalar variables up to now. This article extends the notion further to potentially any finite number of scalar fields. We generalize the fiber surface extraction algorithm of Raith et al. [RBN*19] from 3 to d dimensions and demonstrate the technique using two examples from geology and climate research.

Especially for lightweight constructions, hybrid parts made of a multi-material combination are used. The design process for these parts often becomes very challenging.

In this paper, we study a hybrid part made of metal and carbon fiber-reinforced composite, where the metal insert is coated by a thermoplastic to decrease the jump in stiffness between the two primary structural materials. To prevent stress peaks in small volumes of the part , mechanical engineers aim to design functional elements at the thermoplastic interface, to homogenize the stress distribution. The placement of such load transmitting functional elements at the thermoplastics interface has a crucial impact on the overall stability and mechanical performance of the design. Resulting from this, mechanical engineers acquire large amounts of simulations outputting multi-field datasets, to examine the impact of differently designed load transmitting elements, their number, and positioning in the interface between metal and composite. In order to assist mechanical engineers in deeper exploration of the often numerous set of simulations, a framework based on visual analytics techniques was developed in close collaboration with engineers. To match their needs, a requirement analysis was performed, and visualizations were discussed steadily.

But even when once accomplished, mankind has to take charge of the relics of the current energy supply system. For example, due to its harmful effects, nuclear waste has to be isolated from the biosphere safely and for sufficiently long times. The geological subsurface is considered as a promising option for the deposition of such by- or end products. In order to investigate the long-term evolution of a repository system, a multiphysics simulation was performed. It combines the structural mechanics of the host rock, the fluid dynamics of formation fluids, and the thermodynamics of all materials resulting in a highly multivariate data set. A visualization of such multiphysics data challenges the current methodology. In this article, we demonstrate how an analysis of a carefully selected subset of the variables in attribute space allows to visualize and interpret the simulation data. We apply a fiber surface extraction algorithm to explore the relationships between these variables. Studying the temporal evolution in attribute space, we found a regionally bulge that could be identified as an effect of the nuclear waste repository because it can be clearly separated from the natural geophysical state prior to waste disposal. Furthermore, we used the extracted fiber surface as a starting point to examine the distribution of other variables inside this area of the physical domain.

One way of detecting these anomalies is based on the assessment of the amount and sequence of system calls issued by processes. While the number of processes on a computer can become very large, the number of system calls issued during the lifespan of such a process and its subprocesses can be humongous. In order to decide whether these anomalies are due to the intended system usage or if they are caused by malicious actions, this humongous amount of data needs being analyzed. Thus, a careful analysis of the system calls{\^a}{\texteuro}{\texttrademark} types, their amount, and their temporal sequence requires sophisticated support.

This approach leads to a generalization of the fiber surface algorithm by Klacansky et al. [16] to three dimensions in the range. This is due to the fact that the invariant space is three-dimensional for symmetric second-order tensors over a spatial domain.

Not much is known yet about the molecular basis of cognitive abilities, but it seems clear that cognitive abilities are determined by the interplay of many genes. One approach for analyzing the genetic networks involved in cognitive functions is to study the coexpression networks of genes with known importance for proper cognitive functions, such as genes that have been associated with cognitive disorders like intellectual disability (ID) or autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Because many of these genes are gene regulatory factors (GRFs) we aimed to provide insights into the gene regulatory networks active in the human frontal lobe. Using genome wide human frontal lobe expression data from 10 independent data sets, we first derived 10 individual coexpression networks for all GRFs including their potential target genes. We observed a high level of variability among these 10 independently derived networks, pointing out that relying on results from a single study can only provide limited biological insights. To instead focus on the most confident information from these 10 networks we developed a method for integrating such independently derived networks into a consensus network. This consensus network revealed robust GRF interactions that are conserved across the frontal lobes of different healthy human individuals. Within this network, we detected a strong central module that is enriched for 166 GRFs known to be involved in brain development and/or cognitive disorders. Interestingly, several hubs of the consensus network encode for GRFs that have not yet been associated with brain functions. Their central role in the network suggests them as excellent new candidates for playing an essential role in the regulatory network of the human frontal lobe, which should be investigated in future studies. }, author = {Stefano Berto and Alvaro Perdomo-Sabogal and Daniel Wiegreffe and Jing Qin and Katja Nowick} } @conference {706, title = {Critical Points of Gaussian-Distributed Scalar Fields on Simplicial Grids}, booktitle = {EuroVis 2016, 18th EG/VGTC Conference on Visualization}, year = {2016}, publisher = {Computer Graphics Forum}, organization = {Computer Graphics Forum}, abstract = {Simulations and measurements often result in scalar fields with uncertainty due to errors or output sensitivity estimates.

Despite the success of TAVI, side effects such as paravalvular leakages can occur postoperatively. The goal of this project is to quantitatively analyze the co-occurrence of this complication and several potential risk factors such as stent shape after implantation, implantation height, amount and distribution of calcifications, and contact forces between stent and surrounding structure. In this paper, we present a two-dimensional visualization (stent maps), which allows (1) to comprehensively display all these aspects from CT data and mechanical simulation results and (2) to compare different datasets to identify patterns that are typical for adverse effects. The area of a stent map represents the surface area of the implanted stent {\textendash} virtually straightened and uncoiled. Several properties of interest, like radial forces or stent compression, are displayed in this stent map in a heatmaplike fashion. Important anatomical landmarks and calcifications are plotted to show their spatial relation to the stent and possible correlations with the color-coded parameters. To provide comparability, the maps of different patient datasets are spatially adjusted according to a corresponding anatomical landmark. Also, stent maps summarizing the characteristics of different populations (e.g. with or without side effects) can be generated. Up to this point several interesting patterns have been observed with our technique, which remained hidden when examining the raw CT data or 3D visualizations of the same data. One example are obvious radial force maxima between the right and non-coronary valve leaflet occurring mainly in cases without leakages. These observations confirm the usefulness of our approach and give starting points for new hypotheses and further analyses. Because of its reduced dimensionality, the stent m- p data is an appropriate input for statistical group evaluation and machine learning methods.}, doi = {10.1109/TVCG.2014.2346459}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6875945}, author = {Born, Silvia and Simon H.

This activity is not measured directly but recorded as electrical potential changes using head surface electrodes (electroencephalogram - EEG). Head surface electrodes can also be deployed to inject electrical currents in order to modulate brain activity (transcranial electric stimulation techniques) for therapeutic and neuroscientific purposes. In electroencephalography and noninvasive electric brain stimulation, electrical fields mediate between electrical signal sources and regions of interest (ROI). These fields can be very complicated in structure, and are influenced in a complex way by the conductivity profile of the human head. Visualization techniques play a central role to grasp the nature of those fields because such techniques allow for an effective conveyance of complex data and enable quick qualitative and quantitative assessments. The examination of volume conduction effects of particular head model parameterizations (e.g., skull thickness and layering), of brain anomalies (e.g., holes in the skull, tumors), location and extent of active brain areas (e.g., high concentrations of current densities) and around current injecting electrodes can be investigated using visualization. Here, we evaluate a number of widely used visualization techniques, based on either the potential distribution or on the current-flow. In particular, we focus on the extractability of quantitative and qualitative information from the obtained images, their effective integration of anatomical context information, and their interaction.

Unfortunately, it is hard to understand in detail why and how changes in the design of PSO algorithms affect the optimization behavior. Visualizing the particle states could provide substantially better insight into PSO algorithms, but in case of combinatorial optimization problems, it raises the problem of illustrating the discrete states that cannot easily be embedded spatially. We propose a visualization approach to analyze the optimization problem topologically using a landscape metaphor. Therefore, we transform the configuration space of the optimization problem into a barrier landscape that is topologically equivalent.

Because of the sheer difficulty involved in manually constructing a complete reference standard from scratch, we propose to construct the reference using results from all algorithms that are to be evaluated. We start by subdividing each segmented airway tree into its individual branch segments. Each branch segment is then visually scored by trained observers to determine whether or not it is a correctly segmented part of the airway tree. Finally, the reference airway trees are constructed by taking the union of all correctly extracted branch segments. Fifteen airway tree extraction algorithms from different research groups are evaluated on a diverse set of twenty chest computed tomography (CT) scans of subjects ranging from healthy vol- unteers to patients with severe pathologies, scanned at different sites, with different CT scanner brands, models, and scanning protocols. Three performance measures covering different aspects of segmentation quality were computed for all participating algorithms. Results from the evaluation showed that no single algorithm could extract more than an average of 74\% of the total length of all branches in the reference standard, indicating substantial differences between the algorithms. A fusion scheme that obtained superior results is presented, demonstrating that there is complementary information provided by the different algorithms and there is still room for further improvements in airway segmentation algorithms.}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs\_all.jsp?arnumber=6249784}, author = {Lo, Pechin and van Ginneken, Bram and Reinhardt, Joseph M. and Yavarna, Tarunashree and de Jong, Pim A. and Irving, Benjamin and Fetita, Catalin I. and Ortner, Margarete and Pinho, Romulo and Sijbers, Jan and Feuerstein, Marco and Fabijanska, Anna and Bauer, Christian and Beichel, Reinhard and Mendoza, Carlos S. and Wiemker, Rafael and Lee, Jaesung and Reeves, Anthony P. and Born, Silvia and Weinheimer, Oliver and van Rikxoort, Eva M. and Tschirren, Juerg and Mori, Kensaku and Odry, Benjamin and Naidich, David P. and Hartmann, Ieneke and Hoffman, Eric A. and Prokop, Mathias and Pedersen, Jesper Johannes Holst and de Bruijne, Marleen} } @inbook {eichelbaum2010a, title = {Fabric-Like Visualization of Tensor Field Data on Arbitrary Surfaces in Image Space}, booktitle = {New Developments in the Visualization and Processing of Tensor Fields}, series = {Mathematics and Visualization}, year = {2012}, pages = {71-92}, publisher = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, organization = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, abstract = {Tensors are of great interest to many applications in engineering and in medical imaging, but a proper analysis and visualization remains challenging.

Quantitative CT, however, involves the exposure to ionizing radiation and requires manual image processing. We recently evaluated an extrapolation method which calculates quantitative CT parameters characterizing the entire lung from only ten reference CT-slices thereby reducing radiation exposure and analysis time. We hypothesized that this extrapolation method could be further validated using CT-data from pigs and sheep, which have a different thoracic anatomy. METHODS: We quantified volume and mass of the total lung and differently aerated lung compartments in 168 ovine and 55 porcine whole-lung CTs covering lung conditions from normal to gross deaeration. Extrapolated volume and mass parameters were compared to the respective values obtained by whole-lung analysis. We also tested the accuracy of extrapolation for all possible numbers of CT slices between 15 and 5. Bias and limits of agreement (LOA) were analyzed by the Bland-Altman method. RESULTS: For extrapolation from ten reference slices, bias (LOA) for the total lung volume and mass of sheep were 18.4 (-57.2 to 94.0) ml and 4.2 (-21.8 to 30.2) grams, respectively. The corresponding bias (LOA) values for pigs were 5.1 (-55.2 to 65.3) ml and 1.6 (-32.9 to 36.2) grams, respectively.

A convenient way to reconstruct neuronal fiber pathways and to characterize anatomical connectivity from this data is the computation of diffusion tractograms. In this paper, we present a novel and effective method for visualizing probabilistic tractograms within their anatomical context. Our illustrative rendering technique, called fiber stippling, is inspired by visualization standards as found in anatomical textbooks. These illustrations typically show slice-based projections of fiber pathways and are typically hand-drawn.

Diffusion tractography can be used to identify borders between such cortical areas. Each cortical area is defined based upon a unique probabilistic tractogram and such a tractogram is representative of a group of tractograms, thereby forming the cortical area. The underlying methodology is called connectivity-based cortex parcellation, and requires essentially clustering or grouping of similar diffusion tractograms. Despite the relative success of this technique in producing anatomically sensible results, existing clustering techniques in the context of connectivity-based parcellation typically depend on several nontrivial assumptions. In this paper, we embody an unsupervised hierarchical information-based framework to clustering probabilistic tractograms that avoids many drawbacks offered by previous methods. Cortex parcellation of the inferior frontal gyrus together with the precentral gyrus demonstrates a proof of concept of the proposed method: The automatic parcellation reveals cortical subunits consistent with cytoarchitectonic maps and previous studies including connectivity-based parcellation. Further insight into the hierarchically modular architecture of cortical subunits is given by revealing coarser cortical structures that differentiate between primary as well as pre-motoric areas and those associated with pre-frontal areas.}, issn = {1662-5196}, doi = {10.3389/fninf.2011.00018}, url = {http://www.frontiersin.org/Journal/Abstract.aspx?s=752\&name=neuroinformatics\&ART_DOI=10.3389/fninf.2011.00018}, author = {Nico Stephan Gorbach and Christoph Sch{\"u}tte and Corina Melzer and Mathias Goldau and Olivia Sujazow and Jenia Jitsev and Tania Douglas and Tittgemeyer, Marc} } @article { URS*:2011, title = {In Silico Evolution of Early Metabolism}, journal = {Artificial Life}, volume = {17}, number = {2}, year = {2011}, pages = {87-108}, author = {Ullrich, A. and Rohrschneider, M. and Gerik Scheuermann and Stadler, PeterF. and Flamm, C.} } @article {489, title = {A Pipeline for Interactive Cortex Segmentation}, journal = {Comput Sci Res Dev}, volume = {26}, year = {2011}, pages = {87{\textendash}96}, author = {Wellein, Daniela and Born, Silvia and Pfeifle, Matthias and Duffner, Frank and Bartz, Dirk} } @proceedings {568, title = {Safety-Domino Representing Criticality of Embedded Systems}, year = {2011}, pages = {21}, publisher = {Eurographics}, address = {Bergen, Norway}, author = {Yasmin I.

Specifically, it provides the data basis for a set of techniques allowing for tracking of fiber bundles in the brain{\textquoteright}s white matter. Furthermore, due to the micro-structural basis of the diffusion process, fiber integrity might be estimated. Typically, this is achieved by tensor-derived parameters, such as by fractional anisotropy (FA), which allows for a quantification of the directionality of local diffusion properties. In neuroscience, such parameterization of the diffusion tensor has greatly stimulated studies of localized brain changes, related to development, aging, or various neurological and psychiatric diseases. However, thus far, there is no satisfactory solution for the visualization and assessment of such parameters along fiber bundles. In this paper, we present a novel technique to visualize changes of tensor-derived parameters along clusters of the trajectories obtained from diffusion tractography. This visualization approach consists of two steps: First, an automatic local aggregation of data values around the trajectories for quantitative analysis and visualization on the fiber bundle boundary and second, a color-coded slice that is intuitively movable along the bundle for interactive exploration of the bundle{\textquoteright}s parameters.}, isbn = {978-0-88986-865-6}, author = {Mathias Goldau and Alexander Wiebel and Mario Hlawitschka and Gerik Scheuermann} } @proceedings {497, title = {3D Visualization for the Surgical Planning Unit}, year = {2010}, author = {Born, Silvia and Wellein, Daniela and Bohn, Stefan and Strauss, Gero and Bartz, Dirk} } @article { WWS*:2010, title = {Accelerated Streak Line Computation Using Adaptive Refinement}, journal = {Journal of WSCG}, volume = {18}, year = {2010}, pages = {17-23}, author = {Alexander Wiebel and Wang, Q. and Schneider, D. and Gerik Scheuermann} } @inbook { RS:2010, title = {Analyzing Real Vector Fields with Clifford Convolution and Clifford-Fourier Transform}, booktitle = {Geometric Algebra Computing}, year = {2010}, pages = {121-133}, publisher = {Springer}, organization = {Springer}, url = {http://www.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~reich/cliffordFT.pdf}, author = {Wieland Reich and Gerik Scheuermann}, editor = {Bayro-Corrochano, E. and Gerik Scheuermann} } @proceedings {496, title = {Augmented Reality in the Neuro-Comrade Project}, year = {2010}, author = {Wellein, Daniela and Pfeifle, Matthias and Born, Silvia and Duffner, Frank and Bartz, Dirk} } @article {422, title = {BarMap: RNA Folding on Dynamic Energy Landscapes}, journal = {RNA}, volume = {16}, year = {2010}, pages = {1308-1316}, author = {Ivo L.

Although modern imaging devices allow even more detailed anatomical measurements, these pure anatomical connections are not sufficient for understanding how the brain processes external stimuli. Anatomical connections constraint the causal influences between several areas of the brain, as they mediate causal influence between them. Therefore, neuroscientists developed models to represent the causal coherence between several pre-defined areas of the brain, which has been measured using fMRI, MEG, or EEG. The dynamic causal modeling (DCM) technique is one of these models and has been improved to use anatomical connection as informed priors to build the effective connectivity model. In this paper, we present a visualization method allowing neuroscientists to perceive both, the effective connectivity and the underlying anatomical connectivity in an intuitive way at the same time.

These highly complex three-dimensional data have to be displayed simultaneously in order to convey spatial relationships. Unique challenges in information and interaction design have to be solved in order to keep the visualization sufficiently complete and uncluttered at the same time. The visualization method presented in this paper addresses these issues by using a hybrid combination of polygonal rendering of brain structures and direct volume rendering of activation data. Advanced rendering techniques including illustrative display styles and ambient occlusion calculations enhance the clarity of the visual output. The presented rendering pipeline produces real-time frame rates and offers a high degree of configurability. Newly designed interaction and measurement tools are provided, which enable the user to explore the data at large, but also to inspect specific features closely. We demonstrate the system in the context of a cognitive neurosciences dataset. An initial informal evaluation shows that our visualization method is deemed useful for clinical research.}, issn = {01677055}, doi = {10.1111/j.1467-8659.2008.01217.x}, url =
