- 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...

The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded the University of Illinois $500,000 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop computational tools for evaluating data visualizations. The project will create image-computable models of human vision to assess visualization effectiveness, reducing reliance on costly user studies. The research team will extend existing models of texture perception to operate on visualization images, using these models to predict which data properties are retained by the early-to-mid visual cortex and therefore available to support viewer perception and judgment. The resulting algorithms will be calibrated against empirical data from controlled human studies spanning chart and map types, data properties, and visual inference tasks, then released as open-source software for designers and researchers. The team will apply these tools to biomedical visualizations for evaluating potential cancer treatments. Performance occurs at the University of Illinois at Chicago (Chicago, IL 60612) through September 30, 2029.
