1st Announcement
VAST 2006 CONTEST
IEEE Symposium on Visual Analytics and Technology 2006
A tale of Alderwood
www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/VASTcontest06
The VAST Contest is a participation category of the IEEE VAST 2006
Symposium <http://conferences.computer.org/vast/vast2006/> . It
continues in the footsteps of the InfoVis contests with its purpose to
promote the development of benchmarks for visual analytics and establish
a forum to advance evaluation methods. The dataset consists mostly of
news stories from Alderwood's city newspaper, along with some multimedia
materials and background information. The goal is to determine if
inappropriate activities are taking place and to provide evidence based
hypotheses and conclusions. Participants will have several months to
prepare their submissions. Selected entries will present at the
conference, and some teams will be invited to participate in a special
workshop before the conference, during which professional analysts will
interact with the winners' systems and provide personal feedback.
