Research by @SteveFranconeri suggests you can't let data speak for itself. He finds decluttered graphs that focus on a key point are better understood and remembered. spr.ly/6011JvAuv

Our latest with @vsetlur @eunyeekoh @SteveFranconeri @benjbach @kylierlin for #ieeevis: arxiv.org/pdf/2108.06370… The way that you arrange values in a chart causes viewers to make different comparisons in data, leading them to different takeaways. Even experts can get it wrong!

The Chart Question Answering Workshop at @CVPR 2021 is hosting the CQA Challenge to test how different algorithms can generalize across graphical perception stimuli. You have a few more weeks to participate :) More details: cqaw.github.io

It happened! I'm extremely lucky to have an amazing committee, @SteveFranconeri @ProfRapp + Satoru! Also thank you to everyone that has supported me in the past five years, maybe the real Dr. is the friends we made along the way...

We’re supposed to care about precision. And position along a common axis like in scatterplots is supposed to be the most precise! So, in our #ieeevis paper, @FILWD @Birdbassador and @SteveFranconeri ask: “Why Shouldn’t All Charts Be Scatterplots?” arxiv.org/abs/2008.11310

How accurately can we recall data in bar charts? Surprisingly, the aspect ratios of the bar marks can impact our memory! People overestimate wide bars and underestimate tall bars. Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2009.06773 @CristinaRCeja @McColeman_ @thecindyxiong @SteveFranconeri #ieeevis

It’s tough to organize data to make complex decisions in your organization. We want to design a software tool to help. Help us customize it to your needs by completing a 15' survey at tinyurl.com/VISDM and please forward to your manager & colleagues! dilbert.com/strip/2011-09-…

Here's a cool paper about illusory conjunctions by @CristinaRCeja. Basically, when participants spread attention diffusely, they misperceived colored shapes presented near fixation. link.springer.com/article/10.375… This is a fun demo of the basic effect: cristinaceja.com/img/presentati…
