Understanding SOC Dashboards

Security Operation Centre (SOC) Dashboards are essential tools in the modern digital landscape. They provide a comprehensive overview of an organization’s security posture, enabling SOC analysts to monitor, analyze, and respond to potential threats in real time. An example of a SOC Dashboard is depicted in the figure below. A SOC Dashboard is a visual …

A Winning Moment at IUI 2025

The Importance of a Message Broker Architecture for Adaptive InfoVis Applications

As the landscape of data visualization evolves, the ability to adapt and respond to real-time data becomes increasingly important. Adaptive Information Visualization (InfoVis) systems must integrate seamlessly with real-time data streams to remain effective and impactful. This is where a message broker architecture comes into play, acting as the backbone for adaptive visualizations. Message Broker …

Aligning LLMs with human preferences with eye-tracking rewards

To better understand the potential of cognitive data in improving machine learning models, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), we propose GazeReward, an innovative framework for aligning LLMs with human preferences by incorporating eye-tracking (ET) data into reward modeling. LLMs like GPT-4 [1], Llama 3 [2], and others have revolutionized Natural Language Processing (NLP), excelling in …
