论文摘要
图数据变得越来越普遍。可视化它们有助于人们更好地了解实体之间的关系。不幸的是，现有的图形可视化工具主要是为单人桌面使用而设计的，为基于Web的探索和在线协作分析提供了有限的支持。为了解决这些问题，我们开发了Argo Lite，这是一种新的浏览器交互式图形探索和可视化工具。 Argo Lite使用户能够以URL和嵌入式Web小部件的形式发布和共享交互式图形可视化。用户可以通过添加更多相关节点来逐步探索图形，例如引用或引用引用网络中感兴趣的论文引用的论文。 Argo Lite在设备和平台上工作，利用WebGL进行高性能渲染。佐治亚理工学院的数据和视觉分析课上的1,000多名学生使用了Argo Lite。 Argo Lite可以用作有价值的开源工具，用于推进从数据显示到信息系统的界面等多个CIKM研究领域。
Graph data have become increasingly common. Visualizing them helps people better understand relations among entities. Unfortunately, existing graph visualization tools are primarily designed for single-person desktop use, offering limited support for interactive web-based exploration and online collaborative analysis. To address these issues, we have developed Argo Lite, a new in-browser interactive graph exploration and visualization tool. Argo Lite enables users to publish and share interactive graph visualizations as URLs and embedded web widgets. Users can explore graphs incrementally by adding more related nodes, such as highly cited papers cited by or citing a paper of interest in a citation network. Argo Lite works across devices and platforms, leveraging WebGL for high-performance rendering. Argo Lite has been used by over 1,000 students at Georgia Tech's Data and Visual Analytics class. Argo Lite may serve as a valuable open-source tool for advancing multiple CIKM research areas, from data presentation, to interfaces for information systems and more.
