The visualization of evolutionary influence graphs is important for performing many real-life tasks such as citation analysis and social influence analysis. The main challenges include how to summarize large-scale, complex, and time-evolving influence graphs, and how to design effective visual metaphors and dynamic representation methods to illustrate influence patterns over time. In this work, we present Eiffel, an integrated visual analytics system that applies triple summarizations on evolutionary influence graphs in the nodal, relational, and temporal dimensions. In numerical experiments, Eiffel summarization results outperformed those of traditional clustering algorithms with respect to the influence-flow-based objective. Moreover, a flow map representation is proposed and adapted to the case of influence graph summarization, which supports two modes of evolutionary visualization (i.e., flip-book and movie) to expedite the analysis of influence graph dynamics. We conducted two controlled user experiments to evaluate our technique on influence graph summarization and visualization respectively. We also showcased the system in the evolutionary influence analysis of two typical scenarios, the citation influence of scientific papers and the social influence of emerging online events. The evaluation results demonstrate the value of Eiffel in the visual analysis of evolutionary influence graphs.
