Title Human-Centered Dimensionality Reduction Speaker Hyeon Jeon, Ph.D. Student, Human-Computer Interaction Lab., Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, Seoul National University https://www.hyeonjeon.com/ Abstract Dimensionality reduction (DR) is one of the most widely used techniques to visualize and analyze high-dimensional data. However, the way we use DR in practice is not human-centered, i.e., hardly reflects and supports users' needs. In this talk, I discuss recent efforts to improve the way we leverage DR for visualizations to align with diverse user needs. This is done by first redesigning how we evaluate and interact with DR projections to better meet the needs of communicative visualization designers and data analysts. We also reflect on our current practice of using DR within visual analytics to inform the design of systems that effectively address target users’ needs. I conclude the talk by discussing the importance of democratizing human-centered approaches to a broader range of machine learning models that affect visual analytics. Bio Hyeon Jeon (hyeonjeon.com<https://www.hyeonjeon.com/>) is a final-year Ph.D. Student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. He aims to make machine learning more human-centered to enable reliable and efficient visual analytics. To this end, he develops machine learning algorithms, quality metrics, and interaction techniques for visual analytics. His research was published in prestigious visualization, machine learning, and HCI venues, such as TVCG, VIS, PacificVIS, TPAMI, and CHI. He received a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from POSTECH, Pohang, Korea. His Ph.D. study is in part supported by Google Ph.D. fellowship in Human-Computer Interaction and Visualization.

Talk by Dieter Schmalsteig titled "Smart Augmented Reality with Scene Understanding"
by Marianne Dammand Iversen 22 May '25

22 May '25

Title: Smart Augmented Reality with Scene Understanding Abstract: With the rise of extremely powerful tools, it becomes increasingly clear that we need human-centered artificial intelligence, where the human is in control. Away from the conventional computer desktop, augmented reality is the most promising interface for this purpose. This talk discusses how scene understanding can inform augmented reality interfaces that are adaptive to a mobile user and work in unprepared environments. A special focus is given on software frameworks and application areas.
