Information Visualization Videos from National Academy of Sciences
by Ben Shneiderman 09 Apr '18

09 Apr '18

Dear InfoVis Colleagues, Last month's National Academy of Sciences Sackler Colloquium on Creativity & Collaboration<http://www.nasonline.org/programs/sackler-colloquia/completed_colloquia/Cyb…> included a strong session on information visualization. We were eager to promote use of information visualization in scientific research, data journalism, and other contexts. Five of these terrific talks from prominent researchers, may be of interest to you, your colleagues, and students: Deconstructing Charts and Graphs - Maneesh Agrawala https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAh_dcq_S_M Constructing Charts and Graphs - Jeff Heer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouIFSDQwkQM The Road from Explanation to Exploration, and Back - Alyssa Goodman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfA7XkivjAA Data Visualization Literacy - Katy Borner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5wYoIR1K_4 Visualization as Lingua Franca in Machine Learning - Fernanda Viegas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH19VRSOG7g We were pleased that NAS President Marcia McNutt sent this supportive message on information visualization to NAS members: I have been impressed recently by the growing renaissance movement to better integrate the arts and humanities with science and technology for practical benefits. Let me give just two examples. The recent NAS Arthur M. Sackler Colloquium on Creativity and Collaboration: Revisiting Cybernetic Serendipity<https://nasonline.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e8ed2d21703b877983dcb81…>, organized by Ben Shneiderman (NAE), had as its stated ambition: "...to redirect the history of ideas, restoring the Leonardo-like close linkage between art/design and science/engineering/medicine." Speakers demonstrated how interactive exploration methods embedded in modern information visualization tools lead to new insights and more effectively communicate complex concepts. Examples included ice flow patterns across Antarctica, dynamics of galaxy formation, and machine learning with deep neural nets. Visualization methods are equally important for data exploration, such as more effective detection of faulty data, missing data, unusual distributions, and anomalies; deeper and more thorough data analyses that produce profounder insights; and richer understandings that enable researchers to ask bolder questions. Stay tuned as well for the imminent release of a new report from the National Academies: The Integration of the Humanities and Arts with Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Higher Education: Branches from the Same Tree. Chaired by Secretary of the Smithsonian David Skorton and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, this report examines the evidence behind the assertion that educational programs that mutually integrate learning experiences in the arts, humanities and STEM lead to improved educational and career outcomes for undergraduate and graduate students.

CFP: Special issue on human centric visual analytics at Journal of Behaviour & Information Technology
by BIT Journal 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

[Apologies for multiple copies] Special issue on human centric visual analytics: Journal of Behaviour & Information Technology (2016 Impact Factor: 1.388) Currently, many visual analytics products and tools have been developed. However, in developing those tools and products, much attention has been paid on mining data patterns and making the hidden information visible to users. Relatively less attention has been paid on how this information should be presented for sense making decision making. This imbalance between human and computer has resulted in the lack of theories and guidelines for system design and evaluation and prevented systems and tools from being more useful in practice. To foster an incentive to address the issue and improve the situation, this specie issue targets on new visualization theories, novel design principles, analytics techniques and evaluation methodologies that are to address issues surrounding human-centric visual analytics. The primary objective is to foster focused attention in this emerging area and to serve as forum for researchers and professionals all over the world to exchange and discuss the latest advances. To be precise, the aim of this special issue is to present a collection of high-quality research papers on the state-of-the-art in the emerging area of human-centric visual analytics. We are soliciting original contributions that have not been published and are not currently under review by any other journals or conferences. Papers to be submitted to this special issue must focus on the human side of visual analytics. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and papers will be selected based on their quality and relevance to the theme of this special issue. Topics considered for this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following: • Visual perception and cognition • Design principle and guidelines for human-centric visual analytics • New evaluation methodologies and metrics • New visualization and visual analytics theories. • Adaption and refinement of existing theories and principles from HCI and Psychology in human–centric visual analytics • Novel human-data interfaces, frameworks, reference models, architectures, tools and systems • New human-data, human-computer and human-human interaction methods in the context of visual analytics • Human, social and cultural factors in collaborative visual analytics Schedule: Paper submission deadline: April 30, 2018 Review notification: June 30, 2018 Revised paper submission: August 30, 2018 Final notification: October 30, 2018 Publication: Late 2018 For more details, please see: http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/est/jmj02888-tbit-si-human-centric-visua… Guest editors: Dr. Weidong Huang, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia.
