Abstract :
Benchmarking is a method for quantitatively assessing and comparing the performance of systems. We define perceptual benchmarking as a method for assessing the performance of humans in solving perceptual tasks, and in this paper we describe our research to develop benchmarks for evaluating different multivariate visualization methods under different data and task characteristics.
