For next week’s IEEE VIS conference, here are some more pointers to things that I think are worth checking out in addition to my previous list. This includes a few of the major events as well as some meetups you might otherwise have missed.

An Outsider’s Guide to the IEEE VIS Conference 2020
Want to watch a keynote by a Nobel laureate, catch the presentations of the best papers, or attend a workshop on visualization for communication? The IEEE VIS conference is taking place online in two weeks, October 25 to 30, and is free to attend this year. Here are a few starting points if you’ve never been to VIS and don’t know why you should attend or what to watch.

IEEE VIS 2018, Part 3: New Approaches, Meet the Founders, Perception and Cognition
The final report from VIS 2018 (see previously here and here) again covers papers, papers, and more papers. There are new ways to specify visualizations, a panel, perception research, as well as new work on how to deal with uncertainty in data.

IEEE VIS 2018, Part 2: Time, Evaluation, Dashboards, The Future of VIS
While the first part of this report covered mostly workshops and other events, it’s all papers from now on. Plus a session on the future of the VIS conference.

IEEE VIS 2018, Part 1: VisComm, VisInPractice, BELIV, Best Papers
The IEEE VIS conference is the most important outlet for academic research. This year’s conference took place in Berlin, Germany. Here is a report on some of the most interesting (to me, anyway) papers, events, and developments, in three parts.

IEEE VIS 2017: A SciVis Perspective
Since my (Robert)’s conference reports are almost entirely focused on InfoVis (and a bit of VAST), I have asked Noeska Smit, medical visualization professor and my collaborator in the Vis Potpourri postings, to write about VIS from the SciVis perspective. Everything below are Noeska’s words. [Read more…] about IEEE VIS 2017: A SciVis Perspective
IEEE VIS 2017: Machine Learning, Diversity, Parties
I’ve ignored the major new topic this year so far: machine learning. Another new thing this year, though way overdue, was that we finally started to talk about diversity. And then there were the parties. [Read more…] about IEEE VIS 2017: Machine Learning, Diversity, Parties
IEEE VIS 2017: Perception, Evaluation, Vision Science
Questions of how visualization is read and understood are a common topic in research, and this year was no exception. This part of my IEEE VIS 2017 report covers papers dealing with perceptual issues, the match between visualization and tasks, statistical reasoning, as well as a panel on vision science.

IEEE VIS 2017: Word Clouds, Stories, Interaction
I usually stick to the InfoVis track at VIS, and that was also the case this time. The papers in this part of my report from VIS 2017 cover text, small visualizations like sparklines and glyphs, tools for showing story structure, and multi-device interaction with data.

IEEE VIS 2017: Keynote and Capstone
Part 2 of my IEEE VIS 2017 report covers the keynote and capstone talks at the conference. They were not just at opposite ends of the conference, but also about as different as they can be in terms of content and delivery. [Read more…] about IEEE VIS 2017: Keynote and Capstone
