TL;DR: MetricsVis as discussed by the authors is a visual analytics system composed of multiple coordinated views to support the dynamic evaluation and comparison of individual, team, and organizational performance in public safety organizations, and provides four primary visual components to expedite performance evaluation: a priority adjustment view to support direct manipulation on evaluation metrics; a reorderable performance matrix to demonstrate the details of individual employees; a group performance view that highlights aggregate performance and individual contributions for each group; and a projection view illustrating employees with similar specialties to facilitate shift assignments and training.
Abstract: Evaluating employee performance in organizations with varying workloads and tasks is challenging. Specifically, it is important to understand how quantitative measurements of employee achievements relate to supervisor expectations, what the main drivers of good performance are, and how to combine these complex and flexible performance evaluation metrics into an accurate portrayal of organizational performance in order to identify shortcomings and improve overall productivity. To facilitate this process, we summarize common organizational performance analyses into four visual exploration task categories. Additionally, we develop MetricsVis, a visual analytics system composed of multiple coordinated views to support the dynamic evaluation and comparison of individual, team, and organizational performance in public safety organizations. MetricsVis provides four primary visual components to expedite performance evaluation: (1) a priority adjustment view to support direct manipulation on evaluation metrics; (2) a reorderable performance matrix to demonstrate the details of individual employees; (3) a group performance view that highlights aggregate performance and individual contributions for each group; and (4) a projection view illustrating employees with similar specialties to facilitate shift assignments and training. We demonstrate the usability of our framework with two case studies from medium-sized law enforcement agencies and highlight its broader applicability to other domains.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review existing studies on VHCI in intelligent vehicles from three aspects: 1) visual intelligence; 2) decision making; and 3) macro deployment.
Abstract: Research on intelligent vehicles has been popular in the past decade. To fill the gap between automatic approaches and man-machine control systems, it is indispensable to integrate visual human–computer interactions (VHCIs) into intelligent vehicles systems. In this article, we review existing studies on VHCI in intelligent vehicles from three aspects: 1) visual intelligence; 2) decision making; and 3) macro deployment. We discuss how VHCI evolves in intelligent vehicles and how it enhances the capability of intelligent vehicles. We present several simulated scenarios and cases for future intelligent transportation system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Group Decision Support System with Simple Additive Weighting and Borda methods to reduce subjectivity in performance appraisal at PT. Krakatau Osaka Steel.
Abstract: Subjectivity in performance appraisal is almost inevitable. Subjectivity is defined as a perspective based on personal views or feelings about a thing. Eliminate subjectivity factors so that assessing objectively based on certain criteria is difficult to implement, whereas subjectivity causes unfair competition and giving rise to an uncompetitive environment. This research was conducted to reduce subjectivity in a performance appraisal using the Group Decision Support System with Simple Additive Weighting and Borda methods. Employee performance appraisal at PT. Krakatau Osaka Steel was the object of this research. The Group Decision Support System has selected the best employees from 59 employee samples taken by the Purposive Sampling method resulted the 7 best employees according to the assessors with a Decision Support System, these results are then reselected to become the 3 best employees provided by the Group Decision Support System. The results of Group Decision Support System were found that A2 was in the first place with a Borda score of 0.218336, followed by 2 other employees, namely A52 and A1, with a Borda score of 0.206507 and 0.205753, respectively.

TL;DR: A visual analytics system based on a company’s traffic reimbursement data for the overtime assists the compensation managers in understanding the overtime employees’ commuting status and providing more indirect compensation benefits for the employees.
Abstract: Compensation management is one of the most important elements of personnel management. One type of compensation is traffic supplementary pay for the overtime employees. Conventional analysis of the traffic reimbursement focuses on the basic financial statistics such as the expenditure trends and rankings among different departments in the company. However, it largely ignores the wellbeing of the individuals and their residential distribution that can help improve the effectiveness of compensation strategies. In this work, we propose a visual analytics system based on a company’s traffic reimbursement data for the overtime. It assists the compensation managers in understanding the overtime employees’ commuting status and providing more indirect compensation benefits for the employees. A user case confirms the efficacy of our system and experts’ feedback also suggests that our approach indeed helps them better tackle the problem of analyzing the car-hailing reimbursement data for the overtime.

TL;DR: In this article, a visual analytics system called PlayerNetVis is developed to analyze the real position and role of single player in team tactics, focus on the key moments of the whole game, compare and analyze the influence of players' performance on game trend.
Abstract: With traditional statistical method such as point, rebound and assist, the self-worth of basketball player cannot be truly reflected in the original evaluation system. In this paper, combined with the structure characteristics of network topology established by passing path, passing quality and technical statistics, a novel visual evaluation model is proposed to redefine the indicator system of player performance and analyze the player’s tactical role in the team. A visual analytics system called PlayerNetVis is developed to analyze the real position and role of single player in team tactics, focus on the key moments of the whole game, compare and analyze the influence of players’ performance on game trend. Finally, the validity of the system in this paper is verified through the analysis of multiple set of cases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method for visual analytics of set data aimed at supporting knowledge discovery and member selection, which is a typical target application is a visual support system for team analysis, by which users can analyze past teams and examine candidate lineups for new teams.
Abstract: Visual analytics (VA) is a visually assisted exploratory analysis approach in which knowledge discovery is executed interactively between the user and system in a human-centered manner. The purpose of this study is to develop a method for the VA of set data aimed at supporting knowledge discovery and member selection. A typical target application is a visual support system for team analysis and member selection, by which users can analyze past teams and examine candidate lineups for new teams. Because there are several difficulties, such as the combinatorial explosion problem, developing a VA system of set data is challenging. In this study, we first define the requirements that the target system should satisfy and clarify the accompanying challenges. Then we propose a method for the VA of set data, which satisfies the requirements. The key idea is to model the generation process of sets and their outputs using a manifold network model. The proposed method visualizes the relevant factors as a set of topographic maps on which various information is visualized. Furthermore, using the topographic maps as a bidirectional interface, users can indicate their targets of interest in the system on these maps. We demonstrate the proposed method by applying it to basketball teams, and compare with a benchmark system for outcome prediction and lineup reconstruction tasks. Because the method can be adapted to individual application cases by extending the network structure, it can be a general method by which practical systems can be built.

TL;DR: A new technique called t-SNE that visualizes high-dimensional data by giving each datapoint a location in a two or three-dimensional map, a variation of Stochastic Neighbor Embedding that is much easier to optimize, and produces significantly better visualizations by reducing the tendency to crowd points together in the center of the map.
Abstract: We present a new technique called “t-SNE” that visualizes high-dimensional data by giving each datapoint a location in a two or three-dimensional map. The technique is a variation of Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (Hinton and Roweis, 2002) that is much easier to optimize, and produces significantly better visualizations by reducing the tendency to crowd points together in the center of the map. t-SNE is better than existing techniques at creating a single map that reveals structure at many different scales. This is particularly important for high-dimensional data that lie on several different, but related, low-dimensional manifolds, such as images of objects from multiple classes seen from multiple viewpoints. For visualizing the structure of very large datasets, we show how t-SNE can use random walks on neighborhood graphs to allow the implicit structure of all of the data to influence the way in which a subset of the data is displayed. We illustrate the performance of t-SNE on a wide variety of datasets and compare it with many other non-parametric visualization techniques, including Sammon mapping, Isomap, and Locally Linear Embedding. The visualizations produced by t-SNE are significantly better than those produced by the other techniques on almost all of the datasets.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found positive associations between human resource management practices, such as training and staffing selectivity, and perceptual firm performance measures, and suggested methodological issues for consideration in examinations of the relationship between HRM systems and firm performance.
Abstract: In 590 for-profit and nonprofit firms from the National Organizations Survey, we found positive associations between human resource management (HRM) practices, such as training and staffing selectivity, and perceptual firm performance measures. Results also suggest methodological issues for consideration in examinations of the relationship between HRM systems and firm performance.
