The article discusses the architecture of a system for collecting and analyzing heterogeneous data from social networks. This architecture is a distributed system of subsystem modules, each of which is responsible for a separate task. The system also allows you to use external systems for data analysis, providing the necessary interface abstraction for connection. This allows for more flexible customization of the data analysis process and reduces development, implementation and support costs.

Analyzing and managing raw data are still a challenging part of the data analysis process, mainly regarding data preprocessing. Although we can find studies proposing design implications or recommendations for visualization solutions in the data analysis scope, they do not focus on challenges during the preprocessing phase. Likewise, the current Visual Analytics processes do not consider preprocessing an equally important stage in their process. Thus, with this study, we aim to contribute to the discussion of how we can use and combine methods of visualization and data mining to assist data analysts during the preprocessing activities. To achieve that, we introduce the Preprocessing Profiling Model for Visual Analytics, which contemplates a set of features to inspire the implementation of new solutions. In turn, these features were designed considering a list of insights we obtained during an interview study with thirteen data analysts. Our contributions can be summarized as offering resources to promote a shift to a visual preprocessing.

In this article we introduce tension as a means for qualitative data analysis based on Mikhail Bakhtin’s dialogical theory. We first explain the foundations of Bakhtin’s theory and show the inevitability of tension in our lives and qualitative data analysis. We then offer a review of how Bakhtin’s notion of tension has manifested itself in qualitative research, which prompts us to establish a tensional approach to qualitative data analysis. Finally, we outline our framework for a tensional approach to data analysis and illustrate examples of putting this approach into practice in our own study. Our tensional approach (1) explores key moments of tension; (2) seeks out unease and discomfort; (3) involves researcher and research participants in ongoing dialogue; (4) and embraces multiple perspectives on a range of tensions during the data analysis process. It encourages uncertainties and questions instead of pursuing certainty of meaning and fixed conclusions.

Visualization has become an important ingredient of data analysis, supporting users in exploring data and confirming hypotheses. At the beginning of a visual data analysis process, data characteristics are often assessed in an initial data profiling step. These include, for example, statistical properties of the data and information on the data’s well-formedness, which can be used during the subsequent analysis to adequately parametrize views and to highlight or exclude data items. We term this information data descriptors, which can span such diverse aspects as the data’s provenance, its storage schema, or its uncertainties. Gathered descriptors encapsulate basic knowledge about the data and can thus be used as objective starting points for the visual analysis process. In this article, we bring together these different aspects in a systematic form that describes the data itself (e.g. its content and context) and its relation to the larger data gathering and visual analysis process (e.g. its provenance and its utility). Once established in general, we further detail the concept of data descriptors specifically for tabular data as the most common form of structured data today. Finally, we utilize these data descriptors for tabular data to capture domain-specific data characteristics in the field of climate impact research. This procedure from the general concept via the concrete data type to the specific application domain effectively provides a blueprint for instantiating data descriptors for other data types and domains in the future.

&lt;p&gt;There are many programs for the analysis and visualization of paleomagnetic data, but each of them is good only in a certain use case and does not allow to perform a full cycle of paleomagnetic operations. Therefore, one has to resort to using a number of programs to complete the full path of processing paleomagnetic data. You often have to convert data from one format to another, manually vectorize charts, and generally spend more time and effort than could theoretically be spent. Thus, there is a long overdue need for a universal program capable of fast, convenient and high-quality performance of a full cycle of paleomagnetic operations. A set of programs written by Randy Enkin (Enkin, 1996) for DOS was taken as a time-tested example of such a program. The choice fell on them, since these programs (although they are very outdated) allow performing a full cycle of paleomagnetic operations and do it as conveniently and efficiently as possible for that time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our goal is to create a program devoid of all of the above disadvantages and capable of developing indefinitely as modular opensource software by the efforts of all people interested in this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The result of our work is PMTools &amp;#8211; a cross-platform software for statistical analysis and visualization of paleomagnetic data. PMTools supports all widely used paleomagnetic data formats and allows you to work with them simultaneously. All charts created in PMTools are vector, adapted for direct using in publications and presentations, and can be exported in both vector and raster formats. At the same time, PMTools implements a full cycle of routine paleomagnetic operations: from finding the best-fit directions to calculating the mean paleomagnetic poles. Moreover, all operations can be performed both with a mouse through a graphical user interface and with hotkeys, which significantly speeds up the data analysis process.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the near future, PMTools will become a modular open source application, so that each user will be able to add its own modules, thereby expanding the program's functionality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;References&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enkin, R.J., 1996.

Today’s technology allows storing vast quantities of information from different sources in nature. This information has missing values, nulls, internal variation, taxonomies, and rules. We need a new type of data analysis that allows us represent the complexity of reality, maintaining the internal variation and structure (Diday, 2003). In Data Analysis Process or Data Mining, it is necessary to know the nature of null values - the cases are by absence value, null value or default value -, being also possible and valid to have some imprecision, due to differential semantic in a concept, diverse sources, linguistic imprecision, element resumed in Database, human errors, etc (Chavent, 1997). So, we need a conceptual support to manipulate these types of situations. As we are going to see below, Symbolic Data Analysis (SDA) is a new issue based on a strong conceptual model called Symbolic Object (SO). A “SO” is defined by its “intent” which contains a way to find its “extent”. For instance, the description of habitants in a region and the way of allocating an individual to this region is called “intent”, the set of individuals, which satisfies this intent, is called “extent” (Diday 2003). For this type of analysis, different experts are needed, each one giving their concepts.

A well known issue with prototype-based clustering is the user’s obligation to know the right number of clusters in a dataset in advance or to determine it as a part of the data analysis process. There are different approaches to cope with this non-trivial problem. This chapter follows the approach to address this problem as an integrated part of the clustering process. An extension to repulsive fuzzy c-means clustering is proposed equipping non-Euclidean prototypes with repulsive properties. Experimental results are presented that demonstrate the feasibility of the authors’ technique.
