Enabling Re-executable Workflows with Near-realtime Visualization, Provenance Capture and Advanced Querying for Mass Spectrometry Data

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) enables simultaneous spatially-resolved analysis of numerous ionizable molecules on a sample surface. The current analysis pipeline involves analyzing the data coming off the instrument using a tool called MSI Quickview and saving the results onto a storage drive before moving on to the next experiment. While this works well for single datasets, there is a demand for more scalable, flexible workflows that are re-executable across datasets, support extensive querying and ease collaboration. Here, we present a workflow that moves data analysis from a mere desktop application for single experiments to a more general capability

Alleviating Contingency Violations through Visual Analytics and Suggested Actions

Contingency analysis (CA) is essential in maintaining a stable and secure power grid. It is required by operating standards that contingency violations need to be alleviated within 30 minutes. In today’s practice, operators normally make decisions based on the information they have with limited support. This paper presents a new feature of user suggested actions integrated in the graphical contingency analysis (GCA) tool, developed by the authors to help the operator’s decision making process. This paper provides a few examples on showing how the decision support element of the GCA tool is further enhanced by this new feature to alleviate contingency violations for better grid reliability.

Adaptive Visual Sort and Summary of Micrographic Images of Nanoparticles for Forensic Analysis

Forensic analysis of nanoparticles is often conducted through the collection and identifi- cation of electron microscopy images to determine the origin of suspected nuclear material. Each image is carefully studied by experts for classification of materials based on texture, shape, and size. Manually inspecting large image datasets takes enormous amounts of time. However, automatic classification of large image datasets is a challenging problem due to the complexity involved in choosing image features, the lack of training data available for effective machine learning methods, and the availability of user interfaces to parse through images. Therefore, a significant need exists for automated and semi-automated methods to help analysts perform accurate image classification in large image datasets. We present INStINCt, our Intelligent Signature Canvas, as a framework for quickly organizing image data in a web based canvas framework. Images are partitioned using small sets of example images, chosen by users, and presented in an optimal layout based on features derived from convolutional neural networks.
