About Intelligence Augmentation through the Lens of Interactive Data Visualization
Recent rapid advances in machine learning have brought new energy to the future of human + machine partnerships. In this talk, Arvind Satyanarayan will use three research threads on interactive data visualization to better understand the balance between automation and augmentation. First, Satyanarayan will describe how new specifications of visual and non-visual data representations allow us to reason about visual perception and cognition. Second, Satyanarayan will explore how visualization can be used to bridge human mental models and machine-learned representations. And, finally, Satyanarayan will discuss how data visualization already exhibits an epistemological crisis of truth — one that generative models threaten to further widen.
