[CFP] VisMeetsAI Workshop, Co-located with IEEE PacificVis 2026
by Junpeng Wang 06 Dec '25

06 Dec '25

Dear Colleagues, Please find below the CFP for our “Visualization Meets AI” workshop, co-located with IEEE PacificVis 2026. We are pleased to announce that this year's workshop is partnering with the Information Visualization journal ( https://journals.sagepub.com/page/ivi/collections) to publish all accepted papers. ===WORKSHOP=== Visualization Meets AI Workshop, colocated with IEEE PacificVis 2026 https://vismeetsai.github.io/ Data visualization requires a thoughtful design process that heavily relies on both domain knowledge and familiarity with visualization techniques. Given the vast design space and inherent complexity, even experts often invest substantial effort to create effective visualizations for exploration or communication. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI)—particularly the rise of powerful foundation models such as large language models (LLMs), vision-language models (VLMs), and multimodal AI systems—the field of visualization is undergoing a significant transformation. These cutting-edge models present new opportunities to automate and augment the visualization process. For instance, LLMs can translate natural language queries into visual specifications, assist with data wrangling, and recommend appropriate visualization types. VLMs and multimodal models enable deeper data understanding and interaction by integrating textual, visual, and tabular information, further advancing the creation of intuitive and intelligent visualizations. Concurrently, visualization plays an increasingly vital role in the development and deployment of advanced AI models. As these models grow in complexity and scale, the need for effective visual interfaces and techniques becomes more pressing—to interpret model behavior, debug outputs, and foster transparency, accountability, and human-AI collaboration. This workshop, held in conjunction with IEEE PacificVis 2026, aims to explore this dynamic and rapidly evolving area by fostering communication between the visualization and AI communities. Attendees will engage with the latest research at the intersection of AI-enhanced visualization (AI4VIS) and visualization-enhanced AI (VIS4AI), with a particular focus on how cutting-edge models—such as LLMs, VLMs, and beyond—are reshaping the landscape. ===CALL FOR PAPERS=== We welcome submissions in the form of full papers. All accepted papers will be published in a special issue of the Information Visualization journal. Please check the detailed submission instructions in our website: https://vismeetsai.github.io/ <https://vismeetsai.github.io/> ===IMPORTANT DATES=== - Paper due: December 22, 2025 - 1st cycle notification: January 30, 2026 - Revision due: February 13, 2026 - 2nd cycle notification: February 23, 2026 - Camera-ready with editable source files due: March 2, 2026 - Final notification from the journal’s EIC: March 9, 2026 - Workshop: April 20, 2026 All deadlines are due at 11:59pm Anywhere on Earth (AoE).

AVI 2026: Advanced Visual Interfaces - Last Call for Workshop Proposals
by Daniela FOGLI 05 Dec '25

18th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI) 2026 Interactive Creativity: Agencies, Interfaces, and Ethics ======================================== 8-12 June 2026 Venice, Italy http://unive.it/avi2026 In-Cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and SIGWEB ======================================== IMPORTANT DATES - Workshop proposals submission: December 14, 2025 - Notification: December 21, 2025 - Workshop website online: January 12, 2026 (all deadlines are 23:59, AoE) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKSHOP PROPOSALS We invite proposals for workshops that will facilitate the exchange of new ideas in all areas related to Advanced Visual Interfaces and Human-Computer Interaction. We invite organizers to propose either half-day or one-day long workshops held either on June 8 or 9, 2026, at the AVI2026 venue in Venice. Workshop proposals must be submitted using the following form, which also contains relevant information for the workshop organisers: https://forms.gle/v7gEKFchxAGzMJtj8 Workshop Chairs - Daniela Fogli, Università di Brescia, Italy (daniela.fogli(a)unibs.it) - Kyle Montague, Northumbria University, UK (kyle.montague(a)northumbria.ac.uk) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Since its first edition in 1992, AVI has become an influential space for encounters among scholars and practitioners interested in interfaces, interactions, and experiences. Rooted in pioneering research on visual interfaces characterized by a distinctive attention to the human factor, the conference has evolved across the different waves of Human-Computer Interaction. It has addressed the pragmatic and hedonic needs of heterogeneous groups of users up to the current challenge of self-actualization. Creativity is a core behavior that leads to the realization of a person’s full potential, and the explosion of generative AI presents both opportunities and challenges to human creativity. They address fundamental issues related to agencies, interfaces, and ethics. AVI 2026 will take place in San Servolo, a small island in Venice. This delicate and fragile ecosystem provides the ideal venue for reflecting, reframing, and speculating about creative solutions to more sustainable, inclusive and rewarding technological futures. AVI is an International Conference considering the nationality of participants, authors, and organizing committees. However, it has always taken place in Italy, thus complementing a strong and diverse research program with carefully selected cultural and social activities alongside a distinct sense of hospitality and conviviality. The conference is held under the patronage of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy. We look forward to your participation in AVI 2026!

We especially welcome posters that explore creativity through a critical lens, addressing its complex dimensions of agency, interfaces, and ethics. This track offers a valuable opportunity to obtain precious feedback from peers and experts in an engaging, informal setting. Submissions must describe original (though not yet fully completed) research. INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES AND DEMO PAPERS The interactive experiences and demo track is intended to provide a forum to showcase interactive installations, innovative implementations, systems, and technologies demonstrating new ideas about creativity, in relation to AVI themes and topics, and reaching out to novel communities. Interactive Experiences are expected primarily from musicians, designers, and artists. Demo submissions should be more technical, typically originating from Computer Engineering or Computer Science fields. Please notice that: The committee reserves the right to reject proposals whose hardware and/or space requirements cannot be met by organizers (if you have any doubt please contact the Interactive Experiences and Demo Chairs before submitting). The organizers cannot provide any specific equipment (e.g., sound or lighting systems). There is no possibility for any remuneration by the conference organizers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION FORMAT All the papers mentioned above require online submission. Specific information concerning the submission (e.g., submission format) is available on the AVI website. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Since its first edition in 1992, AVI has become an influential space for encounters among scholars and practitioners interested in interfaces, interactions, and experiences.
