| abstract |
Nowadays, e-mail has become one of the most important ways
of communication in business and private life due to its efficiency.
The problems start as soon as mail volumes go beyond the scope
of human information processing capabilities. First, time often
does not allow to read all messages immediately and it might be
problematic to leave important messages unattended for too long.
A second problem is the dilemma of electronic filters which leave
a choice of too many junk mails getting through versus a risk of
important mails being dumped. In this talk, I will present a new interactive visual data mining approach for analyzing individual e-mail communication. It combines classical visual analytics (help to identify pattern such as peaks and trends over time) with geo-spatial map distortions (help to understand the origin of e-mails). |
