PIIM’s research and exploration into the field of Knowledge Visualization is core to every effort in which the Institute engages. Our focus in this research area is on both computer-assisted and manually-generated graphic representations and spans a variety of outputs, including: user interaction and experience models, network diagrams, interactive visualizations, storyboards, functional prototypes and deployment-ready applications.
Very often we leverage our work in Knowledge Visualization to support the visualizations and graphic representations we create – a seamless transition of our technical and visualization expertise. By connecting these disciplines we are able to analyze and visualize extremely large quantities of information from a variety of sources to create valuable knowledge assets.
Our engineering research and development work in the field of Knowledge Visualization horizontally supports all of our visualization activities. Via our engineering-focused staff we focus on developing scalable, automatic processes for ingesting, analyzing, archiving and retrieving knowledge via relational databases and information taxonomies.
In supporting PIIM research and customer-deliverables PIIM has developed (or co-developed with our partners) software that automatically clusters and ranks documents, performs text- and geospatial-enabled document searches, performs temporal analysis of corpuses of documents, and derives knowledge from statistical, election and market survey information sets.
