Visual exploration of multi-dimensional data via rule-based sample embedding

We propose an approach to learning sample embedding for analyzing multi-dimensional datasets. The basic idea is to extract rules from the given dataset and learn the embedding for each sample based on the rules it satisfies. The approach can filter out pattern-irrelevant attributes, leading to signi...

description We propose an approach to learning sample embedding for analyzing multi-dimensional datasets. The basic idea is to extract rules from the given dataset and learn the embedding for each sample based on the rules it satisfies. The approach can filter out pattern-irrelevant attributes, leading to significant visual structures of samples satisfying the same rules in the projection. In addition, analysts can understand a visual structure based on the rules that the involved samples satisfy, which improves the projection’s pattern interpretability. Our research involves two methods for achieving and applying the approach. First, we give a method to learn rule-based embedding for each sample. Second, we integrate the method into a system to achieve an analytical workflow. Cases on real-world dataset and quantitative experiment results show the usability and effectiveness of our approach.
