Abstract: Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is a widely used mathematical technique in many fields for factor and trend analysis, dimension reduction, etc. However, it is often considered to be a "black box" operation whose results are difficult to interpret and sometimes counter-intuitive to the user. In order to assist the user in better understanding and utilizing PCA, we have developed a system that visualizes the results of principal component analysis using multiple coordinated views and a rich set of user interactions. Our design philosophy is to support analysis of multivariate datasets through extensive interaction with the PCA output. To demonstrate the usefulness of our system, we performed a comparative user study with a known commercial system, SAS/INSIGHT's Interactive Data Exploration. Participants in our study solved a number of high-level analysis tasks with each interface and rated the systems on ease of learning and usefulness. Based on the participants' accuracy, speed, and qualitative feedback, we observe that our system helps users to better understand relationships between the data and the calculated eigenspace, which allows the participants to more accurately analyze the data. User feedback suggests that the interactivity and transparency of our system are the key strengths of our approach.

TL;DR: This work provides guidance for data practitioners to navigate through a modular view of the recent advances in high-dimensional data visualization, inspiring the creation of new visualizations along the enriched visualization pipeline, and identifying future opportunities for visualization research.
The Role of Uncertainty, Awareness, and Trust in Visual Analytics
TL;DR: This paper unpacks the uncertainties that propagate through visual analytics systems, illustrates how human's perceptual and cognitive biases influence the user's awareness of such uncertainties, and how this affects the users' trust building.

Explainable artificial intelligence for breast cancer: A visual case-based reasoning approach.
TL;DR: This paper proposes a CBR method that can be both executed automatically as an algorithm and presented visually in a user interface for providing visual explanations or for visual reasoning, and shows that the qualitative method has a classification accuracy comparable to k-Nearest Neighbors algorithms, but is better explainable.

TL;DR: Principal component analysis (PCA) as discussed by the authors replaces the p original variables by a smaller number, q, of derived variables, the principal components, which are linear combinations of the original variables.

TL;DR: An approach to the detection and identification of human faces is presented, and a working, near-real-time face recognition system which tracks a subject's head and then recognizes the person by comparing characteristics of the face to those of known individuals is described.
