论文摘要
研究人员得出了许多理论模型，用于指定用户与可视化系统交互时的见解。这些表示对于理解洞察发现过程至关重要，例如在推断出导致洞察力或评估报告见解的严格性的用户交互模式时。但是，理论模型可能很难应用于现有工具和用户研究，这通常是由于洞察力及其组成部分的定义差异。本文引起人们对在可视化文献中复发的一致结构的关注，并描述了它们如何连接洞察力的多个理论表示。我们将统一的形式主义综合为使用这些结构的见解，使更多的研究人员和开发人员能够采用相应的模型。通过一系列理论案例研究，我们使用形式主义比较和对比现有理论，从而在推理用户领域知识的推理方面揭示了有趣的研究挑战，并利用了数据挖掘和数据管理研究中的协同方法。
Researchers have derived many theoretical models for specifying users' insights as they interact with a visualization system. These representations are essential for understanding the insight discovery process, such as when inferring user interaction patterns that lead to insight or assessing the rigor of reported insights. However, theoretical models can be difficult to apply to existing tools and user studies, often due to discrepancies in how insight and its constituent parts are defined. This paper calls attention to the consistent structures that recur across the visualization literature and describes how they connect multiple theoretical representations of insight. We synthesize a unified formalism for insights using these structures, enabling a wider audience of researchers and developers to adopt the corresponding models. Through a series of theoretical case studies, we use our formalism to compare and contrast existing theories, revealing interesting research challenges in reasoning about a user's domain knowledge and leveraging synergistic approaches in data mining and data management research.
