报告题目：Data Systems for Human Data Interaction

报告摘要：

Visualization and visual analytics have become an integral part of data science. With the democratization of data and data analysis, visualization is now used by scientists, domain experts, decision makers, and everyday citizens. Such widespread use of visualization has subsequently increased the challenge of designing generalizable and scalable systems that can suit the diverse needs of a wide audience. In this talk, I will present research projects at the Visual Analytics Lab at Tufts (VALT) that aim to address the challenge. The two types of data systems we have developed are: (1) AI and machine learning based visual analytics systems for human-guided data analysis, and (2) database systems that enable the interactive exploration of gigabytes of data with minimal latency. Although the techniques used in these systems span disciplines, the glue that ties these systems together is in their facilitation of human-in-the-loop data analysis.
