Abstract

Visual Analytics enables solving complex and analytical tasks by combining automated data analytics methods and interactive visualizations. The complexity of tasks, the huge amount of data and the complex visual representation may overstrain the users of such systems. Intelligent and adaptive visualizations system show already promising results to bridge the gap between human and the complex visualization. We introduce in this paper a revised version of layer-based visual adaptation model that considers the human perception and cognition abilities. The model is then used to enhance the most popular Visual Analytics model to enable the development of Intelligent Visual Analytics systems.
