In risk assessment applications well-informed decisions need to be made based on large amounts of multi-dimensional data. In many domains, not only the risk of a wrong decision, but also of the trade-off between the costs of possible decisions are of utmost importance. In this paper we describe a framework to support the decision-making process, which tightly integrates interactive visual exploration with machine learning. The proposed approach uses a series of interactive 2D visualizations of numerical and ordinal data combined with visualization of classification models. These series of visual elements are linked to the classifier’s performance, which is visualized using an interactive performance curve. This interaction allows the decision-maker to steer the classification model and instantly identify the critical, cost-changing data elements in the various linked visualizations. The critical data elements are represented as images in order to trigger associations related to the knowledge of the expert. In this way the data visualization and classification results are not only linked together, but are also linked back to the classification model. Such a visual analytics framework allows the user to interactively explore the costs of his decisions for different settings of the model and, accordingly, use the most suitable classification model. More informed and reliable decisions result. A case study in the forensic psychiatry domain reveals the usefulness of the suggested approach.

After pointing out the drawbacks of the approach commonly used to analyze the data collected in controlled clinical trials carried out to evaluate the analgesic effect of potential agents, the authors suggest a procedure suitable for analyzing data coded according to an ordinal scale. In the first stage a multivariate analysis is carried out on the codec! data and the projection of each result in the space of the most relevant factors is obtained. In the second stage the whole set of these values is processed by distribution-free tests. The procedure has been applied to data previously published by VENTAITBIDDA et al. [18].

<div> <div> <div> <p>Abstract </p> <p>The ceaseless connectivity imposed by the internet has made many vulnerable to offensive comments, be it their physical appearance, political beliefs, or religion. Some define hate speech as any kind of personal attack on one’s identity or beliefs. Of the many sites that grant the ability to spread such offensive speech, Twitter has arguably become the primary medium for individuals and groups to spread these hurtful comments. Such comments typically fail to be detected by Twitter’s anti-hate system and can linger online for hours before finally being taken down. Through sentiment analysis, this algorithm is able to distinguish hate speech effectively through the classification of sentiment. </p> </div> </div> </div>
