Evolutionary Design Of Search And Triage Interfaces For Large Document Sets, Jonathan A. Demelo Oct 2021

Evolutionary Design Of Search And Triage Interfaces For Large Document Sets, Jonathan A. Demelo

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

This dissertation is concerned with the design of visual interfaces for searching and triaging large document sets. Data proliferation has generated new and challenging information-based tasks across various domains. Yet, as the document sets of these tasks grow, it has become increasingly difficult for users to remain active participants in the information-seeking process, such as when searching and triaging large document sets. During information search, users seek to understand their document set, align domain knowledge, formulate effective queries, and use those queries to develop document set mappings which help generate encounters with valued documents. During information triage, users encounter the …


Visual Analytics For Performing Complex Tasks With Electronic Health Records, Neda Rostamzadeh Feb 2021

Visual Analytics For Performing Complex Tasks With Electronic Health Records, Neda Rostamzadeh

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Electronic health record systems (EHRs) facilitate the storage, retrieval, and sharing of patient health data; however, the availability of data does not directly translate to support for tasks that healthcare providers encounter every day. In recent years, healthcare providers employ a large volume of clinical data stored in EHRs to perform various complex data-intensive tasks. The overwhelming volume of clinical data stored in EHRs and a lack of support for the execution of EHR-driven tasks are, but a few problems healthcare providers face while working with EHR-based systems. Thus, there is a demand for computational systems that can facilitate the …
