We conducted a controlled empirical eye tracking study with 40 participants using schematic
metro maps. The study focused on two aspects: determining different reading strategies and …

The Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry is intended as a reference book
fully accessible to nonspecialists as well as specialists, covering all major aspects of both …

In this paper, we propose a technique for automatically annotating visualizations according
to the textual description. In our approach, visual elements in the target visualization, along …

Process model element labels are critical for an appropriate association between a symbol
instance in a model and the corresponding real world meaning. Disciplines, in which an …

In this paper, we investigate the problem of labeling point sites in focus regions of maps or
diagrams. This problem occurs, for example, when the user of a map** service wants to …

This paper describes an optimization-based framework for finding arrangements of 2D
shapes subject to pairwise constraints. Such arrangements naturally arise in tasks such as …

The point-feature cartographic label placement problem (PFCLP) is an NP-hard problem,
which appears during the production of maps. The labels must be placed in predefined …

This paper describes a fast approach to automatic point label de-confliction on interactive
maps. The general Map Labeling problem is NP-hard and has been the subject of much …

Dynamic maps that allow continuous map rotations, eg, on mobile devices, encounter new
issues unseen in static map labeling before. We study the following dynamic map labeling …

Over the recent years, Reinforcement Learning combined with Deep Learning techniques
has successfully proven to solve complex problems in various domains, including robotics …
