The focus of the group is on multi- and high-dimensional data which is in many cases time-dependent. The group’s goal is to help users acquire new insights and increased decision confidence by enabling an interactive dialogue with big structured data. For this purpose, the researchers of the Visual Analytics group create novel technologies which combine visualization, user interaction, and automatized analysis methods such as data mining with response in real-time. The application domains of current projects comprise, e.g., the energy sector, industrial manufacturing, health policymaking, and simulation-based development of powertrain systems.
The research of our Visual Analytics group focuses on creating effective visual techniques for supporting tasks along the process of data analysis:
An additional research topic concerns the creation of highly responsive software infrastructures which provide immediate feedback on user interaction even in case of large data. In this context, the research group focusses on tightly integrating popular analytical platforms such as Matlab, R, and Python, as well as on defining flexible modules which permit rapid prototyping of task-specific analytical applications.

Data science for conducting specific data analyses
Visplore is a software platform permitting rapid and flexible creation of task-specific analytical applications interactively by the user. Visplore has been designed for the visual exploration of multi- to high-dimensional data, including categorical and functional data. The focus is on supporting specific tasks such as data quality assessment, process optimization, and the analysis of prediction models. The software architecture exploits parallelism in order to support interactive analysis of millions of data records in real-time. Visplore has served as a software platform for numerous scientific results of the Visual Analytics group, as well as for applications, e.g., in the automotive industry, the energy sector, industrial manufacturing, the health sector, and for network security.
