Abstract

Sequences of events are part of people’s life, their travel, hospital visits, even web browsing experiences. Analysing collections of event sequences can be challenging even for skilled computer professionals. We will review a series of visualization techniques developed at the Human-Computer Interaction lab to handle temporal data.
