Simon Warchol is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Harvard University, advised by Hanspeter Pfister and Peter Sorger. His research focuses on visual analytics for cancer biology, developing interactive visualization and analysis methods that integrate interpretable machine learning with human-in-the-loop workflows to make complex biomedical imaging and single-cell more understandable
SEAL: Spatially-resolved Embedding Analysis with Linked Imaging Data
October 21, 2025
Virtual
We present SEAL, an interactive visual analytics system that bridges the gap between abstract 2D embeddings and their underlying spatial and morphological context in high-dimensional imaging data. SEAL combines hybrid-embedding visualization with set-based comparison tools and feature attribution to help researchers interpret spatial relationships, morphology, and key features driving data structure. Demonstrated through cancer and astronomy case studies, SEAL enhances interpretability and insight generation for complex spatial datasets.
