Abstract: We propose a novel scheme to visualize combinatorial auctions; auctions that involve the simultaneous sale of multiple items. Buyers bid on complementary sets of items, or bundles, where the utility of securing all the items in the bundle is more than the sum of the utility of the individual items. Our visualizations use concentric rings divided into arcs to visualize the bundles in an auction. The arcs’ positions and overlaps allow viewers to identify and follow bidding strategies. Properties of color, texture, and motion are used to represent different attributes of the auction, including active bundles, prices bid for each bundle, winning bids, and bidders’ interests. Keyframe animations are used to show changes in an auction over time. We demonstrate our visualization technique on a standard testbed dataset generated by researchers to evaluate combinatorial auction bid strategies, and on recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auctions designed to allocate wireless spectrum licenses to cell phone service providers.

TL;DR: A locality sensitive hashing algorithm is implemented that converts visualizations into set representations, then uses Jaccard similarity to store similar sequence nodes in common hash buckets, which allows us to match partial sequences against a database containing tens of thousands of full sequences in less than 100ms.

Color sequences for univariate maps: theory, experiments and principles
TL;DR: The results show that simultaneous contrast can be a major source of error when reading maps, but only partially confirm the form hypothesis, and guidelines are given for designing color sequences to be effective in both conveying form and value information.
