Contrastive analysis for scatterplot-based representations of dimensionality reduction
Cluster interpretation after dimensionality reduction (DR) is a ubiquitous part of exploring multidimensional datasets. DR results are frequently represented by scatterplots, where spatial proximity encodes similarity among data samples. In the literature, techniques support the understanding of scatterplots' organization by visualizing the importance of the features for cluster definition with layout enrichment strategies. However, current approaches usually focus on global information, hampering the analysis whenever the focus is to understand the differences among clusters. Thus, this paper introduces a methodology to visually explore DR results and interpret clusters' formation based on contrastive analysis. We also introduce a bipartite graph to visually interpret and explore the relationship between the statistical variables employed to understand how the data features influence cluster formation. Our approach is demonstrated through case studies, in which we explore two document collections related to news articles and tweets about COVID-19 symptoms. Finally, we evaluate our approach through quantitative results to demonstrate its robustness to support multidimensional analysis.

A Grid-based Method for Removing Overlaps of Dimensionality Reduction Scatterplot Layouts
Dimensionality Reduction (DR) scatterplot layouts have become a ubiquitous visualization tool for analyzing multidimensional datasets. Despite their popularity, such scatterplots suffer from occlusion, especially when in…
Dimensionality ReductionShaRP: Shape-Regularized Multidimensional Projections
Projections, or dimensionality reduction methods, are techniques of choice for the visual exploration of high-dimensional data. Many such techniques exist, each one of them having a distinct visual signature - i.e., a re…
Dimensionality ReductionA Large-Scale Sensitivity Analysis on Latent Embeddings and Dimensionality Reductions for Text Spatializations
The semantic similarity between documents of a text corpus can be visualized using map-like metaphors based on two-dimensional scatterplot layouts. These layouts result from a dimensionality reduction on the document-ter…

Visualization and topic modeling are widely used approaches for text analysis. Traditional visualization methods find low-dimensional representations of documents in the visualization space (typically 2D or 3D) that can …
Dimensionality ReductionLCIP: Loss-Controlled Inverse Projection of High-Dimensional Image Data
Projections (or dimensionality reduction) methods $P$ aim to map high-dimensional data to typically 2D scatterplots for visual exploration. Inverse projection methods $P^{-1}$ aim to map this 2D space to the data space t…
