PhD position in Deep Learning and Visual Analytics, University of Montpellier, France

Title. Explaining the trajectories of jellyfishs with heterogeneous text and images mining and visualization Key words. Ecology, Deep learning, Explainability, Visual Analytics, Analysis of spatiotemporal series, Heterogeneous data visualization. Context. The study of jellyfish outbreaks is important because they can have a negative impact on the provisioning of marine ecosystems services for human welfare. In addition, they can disrupt human activities, such as fishing, tourism and shipping. Jellyfish outbreaks are often linked to environmental changes such as water temperature, salinity and currents. Studying these factors can help predict future jellyfish outbreaks and develop management strategies to mitigate their impact on the environment and human activities. There are several methods to collect data on jellyfish, to better understand their distribution, abundance and behavior such as visual observations- as jellyfish can be visible on the surface of the water-, the use of plankton nets, satellite tags to track their movements, underwater cameras, etc. However, their capture and conservation and their fleeting and unpredictability appearances induce scarce scientific datasets. Objectives. We here propose the collection and analysis of multilingual and heterogeneous documents to complement existing data (i.e., JeDI) with original data social media, press and scientific literature. Our objective is to depict patterns and trends in collected data, to map spacetime patterns of coastal aggregations and stranded jellyfish, and to track their diversity changes and the contribution of non-indigenous species to such phenomena (e.g. determination of invasion speed). The originality of our project is to disentangle the extent to which these events and the distribution patterns of non-indigenous species are related to climatic change and ecosystem degradation. Methodology. We will follow a three steps strategy: 1) analysis of spatio-temporal series: multimodal supervised classification to exploit heterogeneous resources and spatio-temporal clustering to group similar data in space and time and to use species distribution modelling to understand their relation to the environment and model future evolutions 2) heterogeneous data visualization: design, implementation and validation of an interactive visual interface for exploring the results of the first step (classes, patterns, clusters…) and the texts/images from the raw data. Particular attention will be paid to the 3) interpretability of the used methods. Deadline for applications: 30 May 2023 Duration of the PhD: 3 years Requirements: - a master's degree in Computer Science with successful research experience - advanced programming skills (design and implementation) - a good academic level attesting to his/her ability to combine practice and theory - a level of professional oral and written English - general knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence - an appetite for ecological issues Procedure and contact - Send tosandra.bringay@lirmm.fr,arnaud.sallaberry@lirmm.fr,maximilien.servajean@lirmm.fr - Your master's degree (if already obtained) and your transcripts - Curriculum vitae with 2 references - At least one letter of recommendation  - Any publications you may have Applications are managed on a case-by-case basis. You will be informed promptly by email of the admissibility of your application and if you are invited to a first interview. We look forward to your applications!

Dear colleagues, Please find below the CfP for our IEEE VIS Workshop Vis4PandEmRes. Thanks! Call for Papers: ---------------------------- IEEE VIS Workshop on Visualization for Pandemic and Emergency Responses 2023 (Vis4PandEmRes) https://vis4pandemres.github.io ---------------------------- Half-day workshop at IEEE VIS, Melbourne, Australia, 22-27 October Workshop date: October 22 or 23, 2023 During the COVID-19 pandemic, data visualization played a highly visible role in supporting decision-making and information dissemination. While a large number of online platforms have provided various regularly-updated COVID-19 key indicators to worldwide or regional audiences, there have also been R&D activities conducted by visualization and visual analytics (VIS) researchers and practitioners. Although some of the latter activities have been reported in publications, many have not become public knowledge yet. -------------- Aims and Scope -------------- It is highly desirable for VIS scientists, researchers, and practitioners to share their experience and knowledge gained through their efforts made in supporting the COVID-19 pandemic responses, and to share their insight and foresight to inform how VIS can better support future pandemic and emergency responses. This workshop will enable VIS researchers and practitioners to share their experience, knowledge, and reflection and offer their insight and foresight about the role of VIS in pandemic and emergency responses. It will also allow the VIS community to compile one or more achievable collections of records about various VIS activities around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. While COVID-19 has now progressed to the endemic phase, it is still very important to gather the built-up knowledge from COVID-19 in the visualization community to be better prepared for future Pandemics. Our workshop has the following aims: (A) To provide VIS researchers and practitioners with the opportunity for: sharing their experience, knowledge, and reflection about their R&D activities in the context of pandemic responses; and offering their insight how VIS research and techniques have helped COVID-19 pandemic responses and can be improved to provide better support in future emergency responses. (B) To provide the VIS community with a timely mechanism for: compiling one or more achievable collections of records on various VIS activities around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic; and for stimulating a new R&D agenda in preparation for future emergency responses. ------ Topics ------ VIS researchers and practitioners may share their experience, knowledge, insight, and foresight on all aspects of VIS research and applications in the context of pandemics and emergency responses. The topics of contributions may include, but are not limited to the following examples: • VIS for information dissemination to the public, • VIS for routine or critical decision-making, • VIS for highlighting and responding to mis/disinformation during health and emergency responses, • VIS for supporting the development of simulation and forecasting models, • VIS theories, methodologies, and guidelines useful in pandemic and emergency responses, • Perception and cognition in VIS applications for pandemic and emergency responses, • Methods for engaging and collaborating with domain experts (e.g., healthcare experts, epidemiologists, modelers, data analysts, policymakers), • VIS infrastructures, VIS systems, VIS tools, & other types of VIS software for supporting pandemic & emergency responses, • Design of dashboards, storytelling VIS, and visual representations for visualizing pandemic and emergency data, • Data transformation algorithms for processing pandemic and emergency data, • Specific data types or specific analytics problems: • Uncertainty & biases in data, data processing, visual representations, • VIS processes, decision processes, & public information dissemination, • VIS for supporting sensitivity analysis, • Bioinformatics data, • Medical and healthcare data, • Geographical and geoinformation data, • Social media data, • Contact-and-tracing data, • Ensemble modeling data. • Data quality and predictive value. • Data integration, organization, and retrieval, • Rapid VIS software engineering (including requirement analysis, design, development, testing, and evaluation) in emergency responses, • Research funding and project management during the pandemic and emergency responses, • Readiness of VIS resources for future emergency responses, • Requirements for VIS techniques in future emergency responses. ----------------------------- Submission Types and Criteria ----------------------------- The workshop will be open to all IEEE VIS attendees. The workshop will solicit two types of contributions: (A) Paper — Authors may submit a technical paper on a piece of work that has not been previously published, and optionally, an accompanying bulletin video (same as the bulletin video below but without a summary document). The length of a paper is 4-6 pages. The paper will undergo a review process with a technical depth and rigor appropriate for VIS workshop papers. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore and are to be presented during the workshop. (B) Bulletin — Authors are required to submit a short video to share their work and experience together with a summary document of up to 2 pages maximum. The videos of accepted bulletin submissions, as well as optional videos of accepted papers, will be combined to an archive of videos documenting the contributions to COVID-19 responses. Like abstracts or posters, bulletins are not considered research papers. Because we aim to compile a comprehensive record as specified in (b1), the works suitable to be reported in bulletins include: A piece of work has already been published, and the authors wish to keep a record in the community archive. Authors wish to keep a record in the community archive without affecting the plan of submitting a research paper in the future. Authors do not have a plan for a research paper but wish to keep a record of their effort and activities in the community archive. The metadata of each paper accepted by the workshop.

Dear colleagues--- Please consider submitting a paper to the Decision Intelligence and Visual Analytics Minitrack ( Decision Analytics and Service Science Track, HICSS 57) by June 15, 2023 to be held Jan 3-6, 2024, Hawaiian Village, Waikiki, Ha, 2024 Decision Intelligence and Visual Analytics Minitrack <https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-57/decision-analytics-and-service-science/#…> Submissions here: https://hicss-submissions.org/ This minitrack seeks submissions that discuss how to augment human reasoning and decision making through interactive data visualization coupled with statistical and machine learning processes. This Hybrid Intelligence approach has applications in a broad range of situations where human expertise must be brought to bear on problems characterized by complex causal models, massive datasets, and data that are uncertain in fact, relevance, location in space and position in time. Current applications include environmental science and technologies, natural resources and energy, health and related life sciences, precision medicine, safety and security and business processes. Visual analytic environments have been widely used for pandemic policy making, response planning and execution. There has also been a growth in visual decision making environments to analyze supply chain risks, climate resiliency and adaptation. Submissions are encouraged that focus on technological and sociotechnical approaches to support individual and collaborative analysis and decision making in organizations. Core issues of theory and methods for decision intelligence, collaborative work, data visualization, analytics, and knowledge integration in organizations. Case studies of applications of these methods to new analytic and decision making tasks in science and technology, public health, business intelligence, financial analysis, social sciences, and other domains are particularly welcome. Submissions may include studies of visual analytics and decision intelligence in the context of an organization (e.g., business planning, communication with analysts and policy-makers), perceptual and cognitive aspects of graphical visualization environments in the context of cognitive tasks, Interactive Machine Learning, and collaborative analysis using visual information systems. Additionally, submissions may include methods for understandable, trustable AI as well as human-guided AI to round out the problem-solving process. Emphasis will be given to submissions that use visual analytics for social change discovery, analysis, communication, and focus on mixed-initiative human/AI analysis. Topics for this minitrack include, but are not limited to: * Decision Intelligence approaches to computer augmented decision-making. * Use of interactive visualization and visual analytics in in organizations. * Applications of visual analytics. * Visual analytics and visualization in “wicked” problem solving in organizations. * Analysis of datasets of varying size and complexity from archives and real-time streams * Collaborative visual analysis and operational coordination within and across organizations. * Interactive and visual risk-based decision making * Interactive machine learning methods * Managing response time of complex analytical tasks * Effective deployment and case studies of success from deployed visualization and analytics experiences * Visualization and analytics for data-driven policy making and decision support * Issues and challenges in evaluation of visual decision making * Mixed-initiative analysis methods for decision making * Cognitive and social science aspects of visual decision-making environments Authors are encouraged to bring the lens of their own background and expertise to discuss the complexities of advanced analytic and decision intelligence systems in organizations, coordination of multiple levels of analysis, decision-making and operations and design and evaluation of effective communication with and among diverse stakeholders. We invite computational, cognitive, and organizational perspectives on advanced data processing and interactive visualization for analysis and decision-making across a range of human endeavors. We also invite participation from researchers who are looking at scaling issues and multiscale issues, whether these scales refer to the time of decision making, the form-factor and operational constraints of mobile devices, the number of decision makers or the more traditional notion of multiscale simulation and real-world scales of data. We are particularly interested in approaches that combine computational and interactive analytics in “mixed initiative” or Interactive Machine Learning systems, decision support in the context of an organization (e.g. communication between analysts and policy-makers), perceptual and cognitive aspects of the analytic task, and collaborative analysis using visual information systems.
