Recent Publications

I’ve been blogging and writing on font attributes, multi-attribute labels and novel text based encodings in data visualization for a while. Eventually these get published. Here are a number of recent peer-reviewed papers, chapters and books (since 2013). The first section is specifically about text, typography and font attributes:

1. The Design Space of Typeface
   (with Ebad Banissi) @ VisWeek, 2014: short paper and poster
   very short introduction into type attributes
2. Using Font Attributes in Knowledge Maps and Information Retrieval
   (with Ebad Banissi) @ First Workshop on Knowledge Maps and Information Retrieval, 2014: paper
   application of type attributes to search, information retrieval and knowledge maps; first publication of techniques for proportional encoding and skim formatting
3. Evaluating Lossiness and Fidelity in Information Visualization
   (with Ebad Banissi) @ SPIE  2105: paper
   a novel technique for measuring relative lossiness of visualization design alternatives
4. Using Text in Visualizations for Micro/Macro Readings
   (with Ebad Banissi) @ TextVis 2015: paper
   more focused on labels; first publication with variants of textual stem & leaf plots
5. Using Type to Add Data to Data Visualizations
   (with Ebad Banissi) @ TypeCon 2015: paper
   a fairly broad introduction to the topic; first publication with variation in x-height and font-width, in this case applied to prosodic encoding
6. Font Attributes enrich Knowledge Maps and Information Retrieval
   (with Ebad Banissi) @ International Journal on Digital Libraries, 2016: journal article in HTML or PDF
   a comprehensive discussion of application of type attributes to search, information retrieval and knowledge maps

Some other recent papers about glyphs, financial vis, 3D and sports:

1. High-Category Glyphs in Industry
   @ VisWeek 2015: paper
2. Challenges in Financial Visualization: Panel
   @ VisWeek 2014: paper
3. 3D InfoVis is Here to Stay
   @ 2014 IEEE VIS International Workshop on 3DVis: paper
4. Bloomberg Sports Visualization for Pitch Analysis
   w/ co-author Bo Moon @ 1st Workshop on Sports Data Visualization: paper
