Dear Colleagues, Please find below the CFP for our “Visualization Meets AI” workshop, co-located with IEEE PacificVis 2024. ===WORKSHOP=== Visualization Meets AI Workshop, colocated with IEEE PacificVis 2024 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 2024, 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 2024 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/ for submission details. ===IMPORTANT DATES=== - Paper due: December 29, 2023 - 1st cycle notification: February 2, 2024 - Revision due: February 16, 2024 - 2nd cycle notification: February 26, 2024 - Camera ready paper due: March 4, 2024 - Workshop: April 23, 2024 All deadlines are due at 11:59pm Anywhere on Earth (AoE).

Gross annual (monthly) salary of Euro 43,650 (2,464.80) according to FWF regulations. In this position, you will begin your doctoral journey studying problems related to the topic of event-based network visualization. In Event-based (also known as “temporal”) networks, In Event-based (also known as “temporal”) networks, the time coordinates where the nodes and the edges are “active” are an explicit element of the representation, differently from traditional timeslicing where a time structure is imposed over the input data. You will apply these concepts to the problem of Information Diffusion. Information Diffusion studies how “information” flows and spreads through an underlying network, and has been used to model, simulate, and predict natural and human-made phenomena in countless different domains (e.g., pathogen spread, malware outbreak in computer networks, viral marketing, etc.). However, little research has been done on this problem within the context of visualization. Wanna know more?
