研究目的
To introduce UpSet, a novel visualization technique for the quantitative analysis of sets, their intersections, and aggregates of intersections, addressing the challenge of combinatorial explosion in the number of set intersections.
研究成果
UpSet is a versatile visualization technique that enables analysts to investigate set-based data through a divide and conquer approach. It supports a wide spectrum of questions in set analysis through task-driven aggregation, queries, and sorting. The technique has been validated across domains and is planned for future extensions to support additional tasks and larger datasets.
研究不足
UpSet currently does not support interactive set creation and comparing sets according to a similarity measure. The technique's scalability is limited by the number of non-empty intersections and the available display space, with a practical limitation at about 40-50 sets.
