I/UCRC FRP: Collaborative Research: Fundamental Research in Visualization-based Gap Analysis and Link Prediction

拟议的基于可视化的差距分析工作旨在提供直观的可视化和分析技术，使分析人员能够了解某个领域内发生的事情，了解其当前状态和操作，并探索变化对系统的影响。LinkDiscovery正在寻求自动预测未来物体之间会出现什么关系。拟议的研究旨在重新表述链路发现问题，以包括预测链路的强度以及创建检测和预测特殊类别的未来链路的技术；这种出现的链路连接两个密集的对象集群。将探讨社交媒体和专业文学领域以外的其他领域的链接预测。基于当前和过去数据确定行业环境中未来事件的预测性分析代表着巨大的经济和社会影响的结果。通过建立更严格的视觉差距分析和链接发现功能，行业可能能够更好地了解发生了什么，了解当前状态，并对可能发生的情况有一定的把握，这可能会大大提高生产力并允许专注于问题解决。拟议的努力得到了行业咨询委员会的支持，并将吸引个别中心成员参与。将通过研究培养研究生，并将成果整合到课程和行业研讨会和短期课程中。

The proposed Visualization-Based Gap Analysis effort is aimed at providing an intuitive visualization and analysis techniques to provide analysts with the ability to understand what has happened within a domain, comprehend its current status and operations, and explore the impact of changes to the system. LinkDiscovery is seeking to automatically predict what relations arise in the future between objects. The proposed research intends to reformulate the link discovery problem to include predicting the strength of the link as well as create techniques to detect and predict special categories of future links; such links that arise that bridge two dense clusters of objects. Link prediction for domains other than social media and specialized literature domains will be explored.Predictive analysis to determine future events in an industry environment based on current and past data represents an outcome of tremendous economic and societal impact. Through establishment of more rigorous capabilities for Visual Gap Analysis and Link Discovery, industry may be better able to understand what has happened, comprehend what is the current state, and obtain some grasp of what is likely to happen, may be greatly enhanced increasing productivity and allowing focus on problem resolution. The proposed effort is supported by the Industry Advisory Board and will engage individual center members. Graduate students will be trained through the research and results will be integrated into courses and industry seminars and short courses.
