报告题目：Understanding the Communication of Data Stories: A User-Centered Perspective
报告摘要：
Recent years have witness a growing trend of using data to tell stories. Since storytelling is about communicating certain data facts to a target audience, understanding what makes the communication effective becomes an important issue. In this talk, I will share my research about the communication of data stories in a user-centered paradigm, such as how the visual design of data stories leads to different perception of emotions and how the manipulation of narratives changes the way people digest the data.
讲者简介：
Xingyu Lan received the MA degree in journalism and communication from Peking University, China, in 2019. She is currently working toward the PhD degree at Intelligent Big Data Visualization Lab (iDVX Lab) at the College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University, Shanghai, China. Her research interests include data-driven storytelling, visualization design, and human-computer interaction.

报告题目：Learning to Automate Chart Layout Configurations Using Crowdsourced Paired Comparison
报告摘要：
Existing visualisation tools usually determine parameters using predefined heuristics, producing sub-optimal appearances. People can repeatedly adjust multiple parameters (e.g., chart size, gap) to create visually appealing charts. However, this trial-and-error process is unsystematic and time-consuming, without a guarantee of improvement. In this talk, I will share an ML method that automates chart parameter configurations by learning from human preference.
讲者简介：
Aoyu Wu is currently a PhD student at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) under the supervision of Prof. Huamin Qu. He investigates how AI could facilitate the creation, sharing, and use of data visualisation, and how visualisations could promote the decision-makings in different application scenarios such as e-learning and smart campus. His work has been recognised by the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2019 and Asia-Pacific ICT Awards 2019.
