My Research Stay at the University of Utah
During my research stay, I joined the Visualization Design Lab (VDL) at the University of Utah, which is led by Prof. Miriah Meyer and Prof. Alexander Lex. It is embedded in the larger Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI).
Dative Subjects: Historical Change Visualized
Linguistic data is inherently multidimensional, with complex interactions between
different linguistic features and structures being the norm rather than the
exception. Historical linguistic change typically is the result of such complex interactions.
The core remit of historical linguistic work is to identify a language change
and to understand how different relevant factors have interacted with each other
across time to effectuate the change.

Vision Sciences Society meeting 2019
From 17 to 22 May 2019, the 19th annual meeting of the Vision Science Society (VSS 2019), took place at the TradeWinds Island Resort in St. Pete Beach, Florida. Priscilla Balestrucci describes her impressions.
Quantifying Visual Abstraction Quality
Computer graphics is mostly associated with the creation of artificial images that resemble real photographs as close as possible. However, realistic representations usually contain more information than necessary to transmit intended information. Abstract images can be used to convey information more effectively. The field of non-photorealistic rendering focuses on the automatic creation of these expressive illustrations, often inspired by the work of real artists.
