Abstract

Approaches presented herein enable change detection in a data set underlying a time-dependent visualization by comparing annotation snapshots across time. More specifically, a plurality of annotation snapshots of an annotation generated based on an underlying data set of a time-dependent visualization are obtained at a plurality of points in time. These annotation snapshots are monitored for indicia of a pattern change over time against a predetermined reference point. Whether there has been a pattern change is determined based on the monitoring and, in response to detection of a pattern change, an alert is generated. If there has not been a pattern change, the annotation snapshots are monitored for indicia of an anomaly change over time against the predetermined reference point. Whether there has been an anomaly change is determined based on this monitoring and, in response to detection of an anomaly change, an alert is generated.

Dependent claims

A method for detecting changes in a data set underlying a time-dependent visualization by comparing annotation snapshots across time, the method comprising:

obtaining a plurality of annotation snapshots of an annotation generated based on an underlying data set of the time-dependent visualization at a plurality of points in time;
monitoring the plurality of annotation snapshots for indicia of a pattern change over time against a predetermined reference point;
determining whether there has been a pattern change based on the monitoring;
and
generating, in response to detecting a pattern change, an alert describing the pattern change.
