ReVISit 2: A Full Experiment Life Cycle User Study Framework
Online user studies of visualizations, visual encodings, and interaction techniques are ubiquitous in visualization research. Yet, designing, conducting, and analyzing studies effectively is still a major burden. Although various packages support such user studies, most solutions address only facets of the experiment life cycle, make reproducibility difficult, or do not cater to nuanced study designs or interactions. We introduce reVISit 2, a software framework that supports visualization resea…

NeLLCom-Lex: A Neural-agent Framework to Study the Interplay between Lexical Systems and Language Use
Lexical semantic change has primarily been investigated with observational and experimental methods; however, observational methods (corpus analysis, distributional semantic modeling) cannot get at causal mechanisms, and experimental paradigms with humans are hard to apply to semantic change due to the extended diachronic processes involved. This work introduces NeLLCom-Lex, a neural-agent framework designed to simulate semantic change by first grounding agents in a real lexical system (e.g. En…

Counting finite $O$-sequences of a given multiplicity

Counting finite $O$-sequences of a given multiplicity
We study the number $O_d$ of finite $O$-sequences of a given multiplicity $d$, with particular attention to the computation of $O_d$. We show that the sequence $(O_d)_d$ is sub-Fibonacci, and that if the sequence $(O_d / O_{d-1})_d$ converges, its limit is bounded above by the golden ratio. This analysis also produces an elementary method for computing $O_d$. In addition, we derive an iterative formula for $O_d$ by exploiting a decomposition of lex-segment ideals introduced by S. Linusson in a …

Die aktuellen Superschurken heißen halt nicht Lex Luthor, Joker, Magneto, Ultron, Skeletor sondern Fossil-Kapitalismus¹ und Faschismus.²

Using Tactile Charts to Support Comprehension and Learning of Complex Visualizations for Blind and Low-Vision Individuals

Using Tactile Charts to Support Comprehension and Learning of Complex Visualizations for Blind and Low-Vision Individuals
We investigate whether tactile charts support comprehension and learning of complex visualizations for blind and low-vision (BLV) individuals and contribute four tactile chart designs and an interview study. Visualizations are powerful tools for conveying data, yet BLV individuals typically can rely only on assistive technologies -- primarily alternative texts -- to access this information. Prior research shows the importance of mental models of chart types for interpreting these descriptions, …

The origin of the most recently ejected OB runaway star from the R136 cluster
The $\sim 60\,000$ solar-mass (\MSun) star-cluster R136 (NGC~2070) in the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud is the host of at least 55 massive stars ($M \apgt 10$\,\MSun) which move away from the cluster at projected velocities $\gteq 27.5$\,km/s \cite{2024Natur.634..809S}. The origin of the high velocities of such runaway stars have been debated since the 1960s, resulting either from dynamical ejections \citep{1961BAN....15..265B,1961BAN....15..291B} or from supernova explosions \…
