An Association Rule based Approach to Reducing Visual Clutter in Parallel Sets
一种减少并行集中视觉混乱的关联规则方法

Chong Zhang, Yang Chen, Jing Yang, Zhengcong Yin

**摘要：**尽管并行集是一种流行的分类数据可视化技术，它直观地揭示了基于频率的关系细节，但是高维分类数据集带来的混乱的视觉显示，严重模糊了关系探索。关联规则挖掘是发现分类变量之间关系的流行方法。它可以补充并行集，以有意义的方式对色带进行分组。但是，很难理解从高维分类数据集中发现的大量规则。在本文中，我们将这两种方法整合到一个可视化分析系统中，用于探索具有二分结果的高维分类数据。该系统不仅可以帮助用户直观地解释关联规则，还能提供一种有效的降维和降类方法，实现更少的聚类和更有组织的可视化。我们的方法的有效性和效率通过一组用户研究和基准数据集实验来说明。

An Association Rule based Approach to Reducing Visual Clutter in Parallel Sets
Chong Zhang, Yang Chen, Jing Yang, Zhengcong Yin

Abstract
Although Parallel Sets, a popular categorical data visualization technique, intuitively reveals the frequency based relationships in details, a high-dimensional categorical dataset brings a cluttered visual display that seriously obscures the relationship explorations. Association rule mining is a popular approach to discovering relationships among categorical variables. It could complement Parallel Sets to group ribbons in a meaningful way. However, it is difficult to understand a larger number of rules discovered from a high-dimensional categorical dataset. In this paper, we integrate the two approaches into a visual analytics system for exploring high-dimensional categorical data with dichotomous outcome. The system not only helps users interpret association rules intuitively, but also provides an effective dimension and category reduction approach towards a less clustered and more organized visualization. The effectiveness and efficiency of our approach are illustrated by a set of user studies and experiments with benchmark datasets.
