This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070) provides $200,000 to Georgia Tech Research Corporation to develop a "perception-augmented database" and associated sampling algorithms that optimize data visualization for human perception. The key products and services to be delivered include: A prototype perception-augmented database with novel representations for perceptual...
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 $300,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) supports research at New York University to develop efficient computer systems for augmented and virtual reality through a perception-guided approach. Specifically, the researchers will design software-hardware mechanisms to quantitatively model human visual perception and leverage those models across system stacks to achieve an order of magnitude gain in...

This $600,000 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program, will support research to develop a new Bayesian diffusion model framework for advanced visual perception and cognition systems. The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) will serve as the primary awardee, with the goal of revisiting the analysis-by-synthesis methodology by integrating generative priors into the learning and inference...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $550,000 project grant to Arizona State University under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) for the period of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. The grant will support the development of novel techniques and open source software tools to enable the creation of privacy-preserving data visualizations. A visualization grammar will be established to specify visualization designs that consider...
This Project Grant award, valued at $540,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The grant supports a collaborative research project between researchers at Northeastern University to develop methods for designing "responsive uncertainty visualizations" that can effectively communicate the uncertainty in data to users with varying levels of expertise and decision-making needs. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $599,649 to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program. The goal of this 3-year project, which commenced on April 15, 2024, is to develop perception systems that can infer the 3D structure of generic objects or scenes from 2D images, even with partial observations. Key technical efforts will include formulating mechanisms for learning novel 3D generative...
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.

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program for $399,999 supports research to develop perception-augmented databases and sampling algorithms that optimize data visualization for efficient and robust visual analytics. The project aims to address limitations in human perception and data processing efficiency that lead analysts to work with only sampled subsets of data, which can distort insights and patterns. The research will contribute: 1) a prototype perception-augmented database with novel representations for perceptual saliency data, 2) sampling algorithms that leverage perceptual models for data selection, 3) perception-aware compressed data representations for approximate visualizations, and 4) new measures for perceptual quality in data samples. These advances are intended to enable data analysts to draw accurate insights from visual analysis within an efficient and robust analytics pipeline. The award was made to the University of Massachusetts and has an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2028.
