Introduction to the Minitrack on Interactive Visual Decision Analytics
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The topic of this minitrack, Interactive Visual Data Analytics (IVDA), has applications in a broad range of situations where human expertise must be brought to bear on problems characterized by massive datasets and data that are uncertain in fact, relevance, location in space and position in time. Examples include environmental science and technologies, natural resources and energy, health and related life sciences, precision medicine, safety and security (aircraft safety, law enforcement, antiterrorism, disaster relief) and business processes. This year we are highlighting a broad range of analytic tasks such as natural disaster response, IT and network security, decision support frameworks, event management and preparation, and other domains where interactive visualization systems may be used to improve human decision-making. Key research challenges of interest in this area include studies of visual analytics and decision support in the context of an organization (e.g., IT and crowd control), how to successfully address and tailor analytic systems to solve realworld problems and integrate efficiently into workflows, perceptual and cognitive aspects of the analytic task, novel interaction and visual representations, and collaborative analysis using visual information systems. The focus in this minitrack goes beyond analytics to include rich, powerful visualization techniques for turning data into actionable information. These rich, interactive visual analytic environments offer even greater power and promise to solve big data problems for data that is 'big' in any of the dimensions of variability, velocity, or volume. This minitrack builds upon earlier HICSS minitracks on visual analytics, mobile computing, and digital media at scale, focusing more decision analytics in various applications from business to science, natural disasters, public safety, and policy. The papers are briefly summarized.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
