Hello! I am Liwenhan Xie (Shelly), a PhD student from Hong kong University of Science and Technology advised by Prof. Huamin Qu.

My research interest lies in non-tabular data visualization, especially for dynamic graphs and text. I design new representations or pipelines to accelerate data understanding. And I am concerned about general visualization pipelines.

I was affliated with PKU VIS Group, Visual+Interative data, and Aviz Group.

🎈 Received my Bachelor of Science from Peking University.
👩‍💻 Will start my PhD study in HKUST and work with Prof. Qu again!
📢 MeasureFlow was accepted, beyond grateful to Prof. Bach and Prof. Fekete.

Selected Projects

Measure Flow

MeasureFlow presents series of graph measures and offers an overview for dynamic networks, to facilitates explorations. It is an extension of Vistorian.

Paper Demo Code
Auto-Caption

I co-authored AutoCaption with Can Liu. We designed and trained deep learning models to generate short descriptions for SVG-formatted charts automatically.

Pixel Matrix Array

PIMA is a new visualization for dynamic networks. It encodes group features onto a sequence of matrices with pixel technique and supports interations in a top-down manner.
