The dissertation develops multimodal guidance and studies the impact of guidance attribution on sensemaking, addressing what occurs when guidance is wrong. It also examines how guidance from individuals differs from crowd-level support and evaluates systems that tighten research goals and enable guided interaction. Complementary tools and experiments demonstrate how guidance can outperform purely automating analysis while identifying potential downsides.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/designing-developing-and-democratizing-guidance-for-visual-analytics-dissertation/154599/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/designing-developing-and-democratizing-guidance-for-visual-analytics-dissertation/154599.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Miles","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-06","2026-08-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the dissertation’s main topic?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The dissertation focuses on designing, developing, and democratizing guidance for visual analytics so that users can be better supported during analysis.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How does the work address guidance quality and failure cases?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"It examines what happens when guidance is wrong, and it investigates potential downsides of providing too much guidance.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What research angles are studied about how people use guidance?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"It studies multimodal guidance, how guidance attribution affects analysis, and how guidance from individuals differs from crowd-based guidance.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},154599,1790313725,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":39,"category_name":40,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":81,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},13056703019404,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_29158cc5080c5b710cf443261637dec0","DESIGNING, DEVELOPING, AND DEMOCRATIZING GUIDANCE FOR VISUAL ANALYTICS  \nA Dissertation  \nPresented to  \nThe Academic Faculty  \nBy  \nArpit Ajay Narechania  \nIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Interactive Computing College of Computing  \nGeorgia Institute of Technology  \nDecember 2024  \n© Arpit Ajay Narechania 2024  \nDESIGNING, DEVELOPING, AND DEMOCRATIZING GUIDANCE FOR VISUAL ANALYTICS  \nThesis committee:  \nDr. Alex Endert, Advisor School of Interactive Computing Georgia Institute of Technology  \nDr. John Stasko  \nSchool of Interactive Computing Georgia Institute of Technology  \nDr. Duen Horng (Polo) Chau  \nSchool of Computational Science and Engineering  \nGeorgia Institute of Technology  \nDr. Clio Andris  \nSchool of City and Regional Planning, School of Interactive Computing Georgia Institute of Technology  \nDr. Shamkant B.

This energy is released into the ether each night, as the mind falls into the sleep state. Each morning it returns to the conscious state reinforced with the cosmic currents. That which has been imaged will surely and certainly be  \nmanifested. You can rely, young man, upon this ageless promise as surely as you can rely upon the eternally unbroken promise of sunrise... and of Spring.”  \n“Accept your destiny and go ahead with your life. You are not destined to become an Air Force pilot. What you are destined to become is not revealed now but it is predetermined. Forget this failure, as it was essential to lead you to your destined path. Search, instead, for the true purpose of your existence. Become one with yourself, my son!

Alex, thank you for‘hijacking’ me into the doctoral program, when I was one year into my masters program. You truly changed my life! It was an absolute honor to be your student and teaching assistant. Thank you for being patient with me all these years. I still remember your feedback on the first draft of the SafetyLens paper, “You don’t have to write so dramatically.” At that time, I had not read many research papers, let alone write one. I was also a very shy kid, but I think I have gotten over that, so thank you. I would next like to thank John Stasko, for reading my epically long email application in the Fall of 2018 to be his research assistant, then meeting me, and later actually recommending me to Rahul Basole. Rahul eventually hired me, and I was fortunate to assist him (and also work with John and his student, Arjun) on my first research project(s) for a year, before joining team Alex as his Ph.D. student.  \nDissertation Committee. Now, as this journey comes to an end, I thank my committee members for their guidance in shaping this work – Alex Endert, John Stasko, Deun Horng (Polo) Chau, Clio Andris, Shamkant Navathe, and Mennatallah El-Assady.
