Visualization of incrementally learned projection trajectories for longitudinal data

Abstract

Longitudinal studies that continuously generate data enable the capture of temporal variations in experimentally observed parameters, facilitating the interpretation of results in a time-aware manner. We propose IL-VIS (incrementally learned visualizer), a new machine learning pipeline that incrementally learns and visualizes a progression trajectory representing the longitudinal changes in longitudinal studies. At each sampling time point in an experiment, IL-VIS generates a snapshot of the longitudinal process on the data observed thus far, a new feature that is beyond the reach of classical static models. We first verify the utility and correctness of IL-VIS using simulated data, for whic..
