Visualization has matured into an established research field, producing widely adopted tools, design frameworks, and empirical foundations. As the field has grown, ideas from outside computer science have increasingly entered visualization…
The visualization community has a rich history of reflecting upon flaws of visualization design, and research in this direction has remained lively until now. However, three main gaps still exist. First, most existing work characterizes…
The data science revolution has led to an increased interest in the practice of data analysis. While much has been written about statistical thinking, a complementary form of thinking that appears in the practice of data analysis is design…
Human values (e.g., pleasure, privacy, and social justice) are what a person or a society considers important. The inability to address them in software-intensive systems can result in numerous undesired consequences (e.g., financial…
Visualization recommendation work has focused solely on scoring visualizations based on the underlying dataset and not the actual user and their past visualization feedback. These systems recommend the same visualizations for every user,…
We propose a novel persona-driven data synthesis methodology that leverages various perspectives within a large language model (LLM) to create diverse synthetic data. To fully exploit this methodology at scale, we introduce Persona Hub -- a…
In this research project, we investigate an alternative to the standard cloud-centralized data architecture. Specifically, we aim to leave part of the application data under the control of the individual data owners in decentralized…
In this position paper, we present ideas about creating a next generation framework towards an adaptive interface for data communication and visualisation systems. Our objective is to develop a system that accepts large data sets as inputs…
The trouble with data is that it frequently provides only an imperfect representation of a phenomenon of interest. Experts who are familiar with their datasets will often make implicit, mental corrections when analyzing a dataset, or will…
The automated analysis of digital human communication data often focuses on specific aspects such as content or network structure in isolation. This can provide limited perspectives while making cross-methodological analyses, occurring in…
A fundamental part of data visualization is transforming data to map abstract information onto visual attributes. While this abstraction is a powerful basis for data visualization, the connection between the representation and the original…
Interpreting data is central to modern research. Large language models (LLMs) show promise in providing such natural language interpretations of data, yet simple feature extraction methods such as prompting often fail to produce accurate…
The emergence of generative AI, large language models (LLMs), and foundation models is fundamentally reshaping computer science, and visualization and visual analytics are no exception. We present a systematic framework for understanding…
The plethora of existing data models and specific data modeling techniques is not only confusing but leads to complex, eclectic and inefficient designs of systems for data management and analytics. The main goal of this paper is to describe…
The opacity of machine learning data is a significant threat to ethical data work and intelligible systems. Previous research has addressed this issue by proposing standardized checklists to document datasets. This paper expands that field…
Human behavior emerges from planning over elaborate decompositions of tasks into goals, subgoals, and low-level actions. How are these decompositions created and used? Here, we propose and evaluate a normative framework for task…
Vibe researching is an emerging paradigm in which human researchers provide high-level direction and critical judgment while LLM-based agents handle the labor-intensive execution of literature review, experimentation, data analysis, and…
When telling a data story, an author has an intention they seek to convey to an audience. This intention can be of many forms such as to persuade, to educate, to inform, or even to entertain. In addition to expressing their intention, the…
This entry provides an overview of Human-centered Geospatial Data Science, highlighting the gaps it aims to bridge, its significance, and its key topics and research. Geospatial Data Science, which derives geographic knowledge and insights…
The accelerated evolution of digital infrastructures and algorithmic systems is reshaping how the humanities engage with knowledge and culture. Rooted in the traditions of Digital Humanities and Digital Humanism, the concept of "Cyber…
