2 Cartograms Map with administrative boundaries Visualizes a quantitative value per region (e.g. population, GDP) Regions are deformed to make their area proportional to this variable c Copyright 2006 SASI Group (University of Sheffield) and Mark Newman (University of Michigan) Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

11 Workflow Convert it to the correct format Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

13 Workflow Assign a direction to each adjacency Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

14 Workflow Build the cartogram [Speckmann, van Kreveld, and Florisson, 2006] Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

15 Workflow Build the cartogram [Speckmann, van Kreveld, and Florisson, 2006] Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

16 Workflow Our focus is on the direction of the adjacencies Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

17 Regular Edge Labelings Colouring of interior edges of the dual graph Red: vertical adjacency, Blue: horizontal adjacency Must satisfy local constraints Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

18 Regular Edge Labelings Flip: invert colour of all edges inside alternating 4-cycle Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

19 Regular Edge Labelings Flip: invert colour of all edges inside alternating 4-cycle Flip graph: Take all labelings, add an edge if two are connected by a flip Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

20 Regular Edge Labelings Flip: invert colour of all edges inside alternating 4-cycle Flip graph: Take all labelings, add an edge if two are connected by a flip This graph is a distributive lattice [Fusy, 2009] Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

21 Challenges Maps of EU and US have over 100 million labelings The best labeling can vary between data sets A local change in the labeling can cause global changes in the cartogram Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

22 Evolution Strategy 1 Initialize a random population of labelings Start at the minimum labeling Follow a random path towards the maximal labeling Stop at a random height Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

23 Evolution Strategy 1 Initialize a random population of labelings Start at the minimum labeling Follow a random path towards the maximal labeling Stop at a random height 2 Copy a few of the best labelings to the next generation Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

24 Evolution Strategy 1 Initialize a random population of labelings Start at the minimum labeling Follow a random path towards the maximal labeling Stop at a random height 2 Copy a few of the best labelings to the next generation 3 Use selection and mutation to fill the rest of the population Select a random labeling, favouring higher quality With low probability, take a long random walk in the lattice With high probability, take one random step in the lattice Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33

25 Evolution Strategy 1 Initialize a random population of labelings Start at the minimum labeling Follow a random path towards the maximal labeling Stop at a random height 2 Copy a few of the best labelings to the next generation 3 Use selection and mutation to fill the rest of the population Select a random labeling, favouring higher quality With low probability, take a long random walk in the lattice With high probability, take one random step in the lattice 4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 a fixed number of times, keeping track of the best labeling found Sander Verdonschot (Carleton University) Optimizing Rectangular Cartograms September 20, / 33
