Visual Analytics for Spatiotemporal Anomaly Explanation

Interactive system to detect and explain anomalies with STARMA, d3.js, and contextual event signals.

This project developed a visual analytics system to explore and explain spatiotemporal anomalies in crime data.

What Was Built

  • Spatiotemporal graph modeling of crime records.
  • STARMA-based anomaly detection workflow.
  • Interactive front-end in d3.js for anomaly exploration.
  • LLM-assisted external context retrieval to connect anomalies with events and news.

Outcome

  • Research article accepted at SIBGRAPI 2025.
  • System used for visual inspection and explanation of anomalous behavior over time and space.

Timeline

February 2025 - August 2025.
