This spring (April 28 – May 30) we are organizing an ELLIIT Focus Period on Visualization-Empowered Human-in-the-Loop Artificial Intelligence at Linköping University, Campus Norrköping. More information about the focus period can be found here.
The highlight of the 5-week focus period is a three-day scientific symposium on May 13-15, with a strong line-up of internationally renowned invited speakers. See all speakers here.
The symposium is now open for registration. Registration is free, including a welcome reception and a conference dinner. You will have to arrange your own travel and accommodation. The symposium and welcome reception will take place at Grand Hotel, and the conference dinner (preceded by a poster session) will be held in the evening of the second day at Visualization Center C in Norrköping.
The program and a link to the registration page can be found here.
The registration deadline for the symposium is April 24. The symposium has a limited number of participants, and registration will close earlier if capacity is reached. Priority will be given to researchers connected to ELLIIT and to researchers involved in the focus period.
Visualization-Empowered Human-in-the-Loop Artificial Intelligence
In the past years, experts in visualization, human-computer interaction and related fields have substantially contributed to the topic, for instance, by the development of visualization approaches to open the typically closed black box design of popular machine learning methods. However, the rapid developments in AI/ML potentially trigger a fundamental change in our understanding of the capabilities and applicability of the models as they are now also able to “interact” with the general population. What are the implications in terms of trust into the analytical results and potential biases that may occur? How should visualization research react and adapt to increase trust and call our attention to critical biases to avoid them?
