This $343,324 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Northeastern University to develop empirically validated perceptual tasks for data visualization. The goal is to refine and evaluate a model of the lower-level perceptual processes underlying higher-level data analysis and visualization tasks. Researchers will conduct qualitative studies to document how people decompose tasks and then empirically evaluate proposed perceptual subtasks like filtering images, judging...
This $187,194 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program, supports a research study on how effectively data visualizations communicate scientific information to the general public. The researchers at the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) will conduct an online survey of 2,000 U.S. adults to evaluate their understanding and interpretation of different data visualization designs, such as bar and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Project Grant, awarded under CFDA 47.070, will fund research to develop an evidence-based and holistic approach to studying the quality of data visualizations and creating design guidelines for effective graphics. The $221,317 award will support experiments to evaluate a wider range of measures and use cases for how people use graphics, and then applying those findings to create guidelines for...
This federal Project Grant award for $399,999.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program aims to develop perception-augmented databases for efficient and robust visual analytics. The research project, led by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, seeks to address limitations in human perception and data processing that lead analysts to work with only sampled subsets of their data, which can result in missed critical...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $599,518 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to the University of Maryland, College Park. This five-year grant, which began on September 1, 2023, will support research into "Manipulable Semantic Components in Data Visualization Design." The key focus of the project is to develop new interaction paradigms for data visualization design, enabling flexible manipulation of graphical...
This $400,000 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) Federal Grant Program. The project aims to develop a systematic framework for visualizing, understanding, and rewriting the learned computations of multimodal generative AI models, in order to increase the accountable and safe use of these advanced AI systems and mitigate potential harms. The key research thrusts involve: 1) new...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $599,997, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) federal grant program. The award, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027, aims to develop advanced techniques and tools to improve the management and resolution of ambiguity within collaborative visual analytics. The key objectives are to: 1) Identify sources of ambiguity in collaborative...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $500,000 in funding to the University of Washington to develop an online platform that helps university students learn how to use complex data visualization tools like D3. The objective is to model how students learn new data visualization tools, with an initial focus on D3, in order to develop personalized learning approaches to...
