== Short description ==

Evaluation of how information visualization supports exploration for visual table data.
A controlled experiment designed to evaluate how the layout of table data affects the user understanding
and his exploration process. This experiment raised interesting problems from the design phase to the data
analysis. In this paper, we focus on evaluating how information
visualization supports exploration for visual table data.
We present a controlled experiment designed to evaluate how the layout of table data affects the user understanding
and his exploration process. This experiment raised interesting problems from the design phase to the data
analysis. A a task taxonomy, the experiment procedure and clues about data collection and analysis are presented. Concluding with lessons learnt from this experiment and the discussion of the format of future evaluation.

=== Controlled Experiment ===

In the experiment three table ordering algorithms commonly used to reorder
rows and columns of table data where used. The first order is
alphabetic (A) and considered as a control order. The two
others (C) and (T) are issued from the field of
bioinformatics. (C) is a hierarchical clustering followed
by a linearization. (T) is based on the traveling salesman problem. They
are used to reorder DNA microarrays (visual table data
presenting gene expressions).

=== Datasets ===

Two real datasets where chosen for the experiment. The datasets had to be interesting and of reasonable size to keep the experiment subjects interested. One dataset was the university master´s grades and the second dataset was from the CIA World Factbook. This dataset consists of statistics of productivity, export, transportation for most of the countries in the world.

== Tasks ==

The experiment subjects had to complete tasks of different difficulties. The datasets where divided in three difficulties. At a high difficulty level of the dataset the experiment subjects have interpret a lot of the data, while looking at easier parts of the dataset the readability of the datasets where tested. 
The experiment consisted of the following tasks: 
*'''Low Level: on represenation visual coding'''
'''Readability:''' 
Find a specified student or course 
Give the grade for a given student and course 
Find how many students followed a given course 
'''Interpretation:''' 
Find the course where students performs better/worse 
Find the student with the highest/lowest grades 
*'''Medium Level: on groups and outliers''' 
'''Readability:''' 
Circle a group 
Give it a representative element of the group 
Circle outliers 
'''Interpretation:''' 
Give it a meaningful name 
Give a representative element of the group 
Explain why the are outliers 
*'''High Level: on correlations and trends'''
'''Readability:''' 
Give two Courses correlated/uncorrelated 
'''Interpretation:''' 
Give two Courses correlated/uncorrelated 
Give the main trends of this master (in terms of topics) 
Explain how students/courses have been ordered

== Lessons Learned ==
*'''Do not use real datasets'''
*'''Do not ask too much'''
*'''Do not exclude free comments or open questions'''
*'''Do not leave too much freedom'''
*'''Do not underestimate training'''

'''Ben Shneiderman''' is a professor in the department of computer science, founding director of the human–computer–interaction laboratory, and member of the institute for advanced computer studies and the institute for systems research, all at the university of Maryland at College Park. He has taught previously at the State University of New York and at Indiana University.

He got a B.S. in Mathematics/Physics from the City College of New York in 1968, and then went on to study at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he received an M.S. in Computer Science in 1972 and graduated with a Ph.D. in 1973. In addition to his influential work in user interface design, he is known for the co-invention (together with Isaac Nassi) of the Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams, a graphical representation of the design of structured software.
