报告摘要：The advancement of visualization has had a deep and profound impact across science, industry, and society. Mainstream visualization tools and dashboards have reached a level of maturity, leading to better data literacy, more accessible information and analytics, and improved decision making. What are outstanding research topics for us to pursue? In particular, as a swarm of researchers and students in our field go after AI/ML work, what else we must address to ensure real innovation is happening so our field will continue to grow. In this talk, I will use my own projects to reflect on a transformative shift we are observing.

讲者简介：Kwan-Liu Ma (马匡六) is a distinguished professor of computer science at the University of California, Davis, where he leads the VIDI Research Group.
