Workshops

This October, our lab participated in the IEEE VIS 2022 conference in Oklahoma City. Kicking things off, Jane Adams co-organized alt.VIS, a workshop for unconventional work. The lab had three submissions to alt.VIS. Sara Bi Bartolomeo, Cody Dunne, et al. contributed The worst graph layout algorithm ever, Cody Dunne et al. submitted DyStopia: Into a potential future of IEEE VIS under Plan S, and Jane Adams et al. presented Ready Player Viz: Player-Created Strategic Visualizations for Video Games.

The Visualization in Data Science workshop included BiaScope: Visual Unfairness Diagnosis for Graph Embeddings by Agapi Rissaki, Bruno Scarone, David Liu, Aditeya Pandey, Brennan Klein, Tina Eliassi-Rad, and Michelle Borkin. This work was started in Michelle's CS 7250 Information Visualization class. Michelle was also a co-organizer of the Visualization for Social Good workshop alongside Lane Harrison, who is on sabbatical at the Roux Institute from WPI. Uzma Haque Syeda and Ab Mosca contributed to the workshop on the program committee.

Papers and Posters

Racquel Fygenson, Enrico Bertini, et al. won the best paper award for their work Multiple Forecast Visualizations (MFVs): Trade-offs in Trust and Performance in Multiple COVID-19 Forecast Visualizations. Aditeya Pandey, Michelle Borkin, et al. contributed GenoREC: A recommendation system for interactive genomics data visualization and Portola: A Hybrid Tree and Network Visualization Technique for Network Segmentation. Pandey et al. also submitted MEDLEY: Intent-based Recommendations to Support Dashboard Composition.

Laura South and Michelle Borkin presented Photosensitive accessibility for interactive data visualizations. Justin Raynor, Tarik Crnovrsanin, Sara Bi Bartolomeo, Laura South, David Saffo, and Cody Dunne contributed The State of the Art in BGP Visualization Tools: A Mapping of Visualization Techniques to Cyberattack Types. Liudas Panavas, Tarik Crnovrsanin, Jane Adams, Melanie Tory, Cody Dunne, et al. submitted Visual utility evaluation of differentially private scatterplots.

Lane Harrison et al. contributed FairFuse: Interactive Visual Support for Fair Consensus Ranking, “Probablement, Wahrscheinlich, Likely?” A Cross-Language Study of How People Verbalize Probabilities in Icon Array Visualizations, and VisQuiz: Exploring Feedback Mechanisms to Improve Graphical Perception.

Sessions and Panels

Melanie Tory chaired the Visualization Opportunities session and Enrico Bertini chaired the Digital Humanities, e-Commerce, and Engineering session. Cody Dunne co-organized the Merits and Limits of User Study Preregistration panel. Cody and Melanie were both panelists on Is This (Panel) Good Enough for IEEE VIS?
