[CFP] IEEE PacificVis 2025 VisMeetsAI Workshop (Updated DDL)
by Junpeng Wang 25 Dec '24

25 Dec '24

Dear Colleagues, Please find below the CFP for our “Visualization Meets AI” workshop, co-located with IEEE PacificVis 2025. ===WORKSHOP=== Visualization Meets AI Workshop, colocated with IEEE PacificVis 2025 https://vismeetsai.github.io/ The task of data visualization generally involves a design step, which requires the knowledge of the data domain and visualization methods to do well. Because of the immense design space for optimization, it can take both novices and experts substantial effort to derive desired visualization results from data for exploration or communication. Following the resurgence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in recent years, in the field of visualization, there is a growing interest and opportunity in applying AI to perform data transformation and to assist the generation of visualization, aiming to strike a balance between cost and quality. The use of visualization to enhance AI is the other active line of research. This workshop, held in conjunction with IEEE PacificVis 2025, aims at exploring this emerging area of research and practice by fostering communication between visualization researchers and practitioners. Attendees will be introduced to the latest and greatest research innovations in AI-enhanced visualization (AI4VIS) as well as visualization-enhanced AI (VIS4AI), and also learn about further research opportunities. The workshop will be composed of paper presentations and invited talks. ===CALL FOR PAPERS=== All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of IEEE PacificVis 2025 and the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. We welcome contributions as both full papers and short papers this year. There is no page limit, but authors are encouraged to submit a paper whose length matches its contribution, and the manuscript should be prepared according to the guide for authors given at IEEE. Check out https://vismeetsai.github.io/ <https://vismeetsai.github.io/> for submission details. ===IMPORTANT DATES=== - Paper due: December 27, 2024, *January 3, 2025* - 1st cycle notification: January 31, 2025 - Revision due: February 14, 2025 - 2nd cycle notification: February 24, 2025 - Camera ready paper due: March 3, 2025 - Workshop: April 22, 2025 All deadlines are due at 11:59pm Anywhere on Earth (AoE). Thanks, Takanori Fujiwara and Junpeng Wang Visualization Meets AI Workshop Co-Chairs
