Visual Analytics Benchmark Repository
The repository:
The Visual Analytics Benchmarks Repository contains resources to
improve the evaluation of visual analytics technology.
Benchmarks contains datasets and tasks,
as well as materials describing the uses
of those benchmarks (the results of analysis, contest entries, controlled
experiment materials etc.) Most benchmarks contain ground truth described in a
solution provided with the benchmark, allowing accuracy metrics to be computed.

History:
This repository replaces and extends the
Information Visualization Benchmarks Repository
started in 2003, with datasets from the InfoVis Contest.
Starting in 2006 the VAST Contests and later the VAST Challenges which took place at the IEEE VAST
symposium provided the 1st set of Benchmark with ground truth and solutions.
Full credit and provenance information is given separately for each benchmark.
