Ten Years Later: Replicating Two Color Discrimination Studies

Color discrimination is a fundamental aspect of visualization as it influences how people interpret visual encodings. Many visualization guidelines are informed by perceptual studies, yet relatively few have been replicated. Acknowledging that the interaction between human perception, visual tasks, and display technology can change over time, we replicate two crowdsourced color discrimination studies conducted 10 years earlier. Specifically, we replicated a visualization-focused color discrimination task (N=144) and a more general perceptual discrimination task (N=394). In both studies, our results reproduced the original perceptual effects. We further use the replication to investigate whether color-related practice influences color discrimination. Specifically, we extended our replication studies by adding questions about participants' engagement with color practices. We then examined whether diverse color-related practices (e.g., artistic hobbies, knowledge of color theory, and cosmetic makeup use) influenced color discrimination. We found no significant difference between participants who reported engaging in color-related practices and those who did not, suggesting that design guidance regarding color discrimination may generalize across viewers regardless of their regular color practice.

Reimagining Disassembly Interfaces with Visualization: Combining Instruction Tracing and Control Flow with DisViz

In applications where efficiency is critical, developers may examine their compiled binaries, seeking to understand how the compiler transformed their source code and what performance implications that transformation may have. This analysis is challenging due to the vast number of disassembled binary instructions and the many-to-many mappings between them and the source code. These problems are exacerbated as source code size increases, giving the compiler more freedom to map and disperse binary instructions across the disassembly space. Interfaces for disassembly typically display instructions as an unstructured listing or sacrifice the order of execution. We design a new visual interface for disassembly code that combines execution order with control flow structure, enabling analysts to both trace through code and identify familiar aspects of the computation. Central to our approach is a novel layout of instructions grouped into basic blocks that displays a looping structure in an intuitive way. We add to this disassembly representation a unique block-based mini-map that leverages our layout and shows context across thousands of disassembly instructions. Finally, we embed our disassembly visualization in a web-based tool, DisViz, which adds dynamic linking with source code across the entire application. DizViz was developed in collaboration with program analysis experts following design study methodology and was validated through evaluation sessions with ten participants from four institutions. Participants successfully completed the evaluation tasks, hypothesized about compiler optimizations, and noted the utility of our new disassembly view. Our evaluation suggests that our new integrated view helps application developers in understanding and navigating disassembly code.

Agglomerative Clustering of Handwritten Numerals to Determine Similarity of Different Languages

Handwritten numerals of different languages have various characteristics. Similarities and dissimilarities of the languages can be measured by analyzing the extracted features of the numerals. Handwritten numeral datasets are available and accessible for many renowned languages of different regions. In this paper, several handwritten numeral datasets of different languages are collected. Then they are used to find the similarity among those written languages through determining and comparing the similitude of each handwritten numerals. This will help to find which languages have the same or adjacent parent language. Firstly, a similarity measure of two numeral images is constructed with a Siamese network. Secondly, the similarity of the numeral datasets is determined with the help of the Siamese network and a new random sample with replacement similarity averaging technique. Finally, an agglomerative clustering is done based on the similarities of each dataset. This clustering technique shows some very interesting properties of the datasets. The property focused in this paper is the regional resemblance of the datasets. By analyzing the clusters, it becomes easy to identify which languages are originated from similar regions.
