  abstract = "Lattice graphs are used as underlying data structures in many statistical processing systems, including natural
              language processing. Lattices compactly represent multiple possible outputs and are usually hidden from users.
              We present a novel visualization intended to reveal the uncertainty and variability inherent in statistically-derived
              lattice structures. Applications such as machine translation and automated speech recognition typically present
              users with a best-guess about the appropriate output, with apparent complete confidence. Through case studies
              we show how our visualization uses a hybrid layout along with varying transparency, colour, and size to reveal
              the lattice structure, expose the inherent uncertainty in statistical processing, and help users make better-informed
              decisions about statistically-derived outputs.",
