“…Progressive classification has also been invoked in the context of data visualization, which is regarded as an important tool when dealing with complex data, as in the area of cybersecurity. In an article on rethinking how risk and security are visualized, Hall, Heath, and Coles-Kemp (2015) wrote,…”

In 1952, W. E. Hick published an article in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, "On the rate of gain of information." It played a seminal role in the cognitive revolution and established one of the few widely acknowledged laws in psychology, relating choice reaction time to the number of stimulus-response alternatives (or amount of uncertainty) in a task. We review the historical context in which Hick conducted his study and describe his experiments and theoretical analyses. We discuss the article's immediate impact on researchers, as well as challenges to and shortcomings of Hick's law and his analysis, including effects of stimulus-response compatibility, practice, very large set sizes and sequential dependencies. Contemporary modeling developments are also described in detail. Perhaps most impressive about Hick's law is that it continues to spawn research efforts to the present and that it is regarded as a fundamental law of interface design for human-computer interaction using technologies that did not exist at the time of Hick's research.

“…the perception and comprehension of the current situation, and the projection of future status) stating that the big challenge lies in facilitating the user's understanding through effective visualization. Moreover, some feel that producers of these current 'cyberspace' visualizations focus too narrowly on adversarial security issues, ignoring important perceptions and narratives of individual and community security [18]. Others argue that many of the ways in which we discuss, imagine and envision the internet rely on inaccurate and unhelpful spatial metaphors [16].…”

“…For these visualizations to adequately represent the relationships between nodes, there needs to be a clear identity distinction between the insiders and outsiders of a network. Commenting on node and link visualizations, Hall et al (2015) note that ''visualization presupposes fixed behaviour types: insiders are either loyal or malicious. Such a distinction complies with militaristic approaches of the past, but in cloud computing the distinction between insiders and outsiders is not easy to make'' (p. 95).…”

State of urgency: Surveillance, power, and algorithms in France’s state of emergency

The recent terrorist attacks and ongoing state of emergency in France have brought questions of police surveillance into the public spotlight, making it increasingly important to understand how police attain data from citizens. Since 2005, the French police have been using IBM's computer program, i2 Analyst's Notebook, to aggregate information and craft criminal narratives. This technology serves to quickly connect suspects with crimes, looking for as many associations as possible, ranking and visualizing them based on level of importance. Recently, surveillance and state power have been theorized as having shifted to a posthegemonic, order. Drawing from literature on power, surveillance, and identity, this paper considers the various ways that algorithms can impact policing under a state of emergency by comparing the technical protocol of i2 Analyst's Notebook with the administrative protocol of the French state. Using i2 Analyst's Notebook as an example, this paper argues that posthegemonic theories of power have their place in determining how algorithms can be used for surveillance, but that they cannot completely explain their use under the state of emergency.
