It enables users to uncover hidden data connections across different views using **biclusters**, offering an intuitive and efficient alternative to traditional view-coordination techniques like brushing and linking.\n\nBy introducing **relationship-views**, SightBi enhances **sensemaking** across domains such as **bioinformatics, cybersecurity, and text analytics**, allowing users to visually navigate complex datasets with minimal trial-and-error.\n\n## 📸 App Screenshot\n![SightBi App Screenshot](sightbi.png)\n\n### Features\n- **Bicluster-Based Relationship Discovery**: Automatically computes cross-view relationships using **biclustering techniques**.\n- **Interactive Visualization**: Supports flexible layout organization with dynamic view adjustments.\n- **Relationship-Views**: Introduces standalone **relationship-views** to help preserve the integrity of existing visualizations.\n- **Multi-Level Exploration**: Enables users to **filter, refocus, and connect** data across different views.\n- **Customizable Interactions**: Supports **dragging, linking, pinning, and marking** relationships for efficient exploration.\n\n### Installation\n#### Prerequisites\nEnsure you have the following dependencies installed:\n- Node.js (\u003e= 14.x)\n- Required Node.js packages:\n  ```bash\n  npm install express ejs body-parser fs path html-to-image jsdom xml-reader xml-query read-xml node-geocoder objects-to-csv\n  ```\n- D3.js and related visualization libraries\n\n#### Cloning the Repository\nClone the SightBi repository from GitHub:\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/sabdulrahman/SightBi.git\ncd SightBi\n```\n\n#### Running SightBi\nTo launch SightBi, run:\n```bash\nnode index.js\n```\nThen, open your browser and navigate to:\n```\nhttp://localhost:3000\n```\n\n### Usage\n1. **Load Your Dataset**: Import data containing multiple views (e.g., networks, spatial data, text, etc.).\n2. **Compute Cross-View Relationships**: Use SightBi’s biclustering algorithms to automatically identify related subsets.\n3. **Explore Relationship-Views**: Interactively navigate detected relationships between views.\n4. **Adjust Layouts**: Drag and reposition views for better analysis.\n5. **Save \u0026 Export Findings**: Export visualizations for reports and presentations.\n\n### Example Use Case\nA security analyst using **SightBi** can:\n- Load intelligence reports and visualize networks of entities (e.g., **people, locations, organizations**).\n- Automatically detect **collusions** among suspicious individuals.\n- Visually track **connections** between suspects and locations without manually inspecting individual records.\n- Generate **interactive reports** with the findings.\n\n### Citation\nFor more details, refer to the paper: [SightBi: Exploring Cross-View Data Relationships with Biclusters](https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1109/TVCG.2021.3114801)\n\n\nIf you use **SightBi** in your research, please cite:\n```\n@article{sun2021sightbi,\n  author    = {Maoyuan Sun and Abdul Rahman Shaikh and Hamed Alhoori and Jian Zhao},\n  title     = {SightBi: Exploring Cross-View Data Relationships with Biclusters},\n  journal   = {IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics},\n  year      = {2021}\n}\n```","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsabdulrahman%2Fsightbi","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsabdulrahman%2Fsightbi","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsabdulrahman%2Fsightbi/lists"}
