The students in our fall Data Visualization course created a great set of projects again. Topics included hip-hop music, fish populations, the Office TV show, MLB rules, national parks, UFOs, climate change, and many other. Website: faculty.cc.gatech.edu/~stasko/6730/P…

So this happened 🤯 Honored/floored to receive a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)! whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

Introducing ConceptAttention, an approach to interpreting diffusion transformer models! Write a prompt, choose some concepts, generate an image, and get high-quality heatmaps of text concepts. Our method outperforms existing methods like cross attention. Link to demo 👇

Diffusion Transformers aren't just generative models, but also powerful multi-modal encoders. ConceptAttention creates rich heatmaps of text concepts in images from DiT representations. This even works on real images, and can be applied to tasks like segmentation! Demo 👇

Diffusion models leverage a variety of samplers. Deterministic methods like DDIM produce orderly paths. In contrast, stochastic samplers like DDPM produce chaotic trajectories. Despite their differences, both methods draw valid samples from the underlying distribution.

Excited to share our upcoming IUI paper called "A Design Space of Behavior Change Interventions for Responsible Data Science" -- we look at how behavior change theories from cognitive and clinical psych can inform responsible data science. 📖Read it here: emilywall.github.io/media/papers/B…

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) frames sampling from a probability distribution as simulating the dynamics of a physical system. Samples are expressed as particles whose trajectories are updated following Hamilton's equations based on the structure of the target distribution.

❓Do people’s perception & utilization of guidance change during analysis if they know its source, e.g., if it came from 🤖AI, 🧙Human Expert, or 🧑‍🤝‍🧑Group of Human Analysts? ✨Thrilled to share our new #iui2025 paper, presented last week at ACM IUI in Cagliari, Italy. (1/6)

Our first Immersive Storytelling project! Led by our very own Tao Lu, incoming PhD student Georgia Tech School of Interactive Computing Georgia Tech Computing. We investigated the two most unique characteristics, Ego vs. Exo and Active vs. Passive, of immersive technologies that provide an immersive experience.

🎓 My students presented two papers at ACM CHI Conference last week on metacognition and confirmation bias. 📖 Read more here: emilywall.github.io/media/papers/M… and emilywall.github.io/media/papers/C…. Reach out to the first authors if you are looking for research interns 💻

Congratulations to the first PhD graduate from the Cognition and Visualization Lab, Dr. Ziwei Dong! Ziwei has joined Amazon as an applied scientist working on responsible AI. #proudadvisormoment

Had so much fun at the annual GT Visualization Atlanta Meet-up a few weeks ago! We learned a lot from industry veterans & academic faculty on job hunting. My fav: "Staying connected to alum and friends helps you pivot in uncertain times" Big shout-out to Cindy Xiong Bearfield for organizing ❤️

I recently joined Lincoln Laboratory for the summer as an AI Technology Research Intern! I'm building new user #interfaces for understanding dynamic human-AI #teaming data🤝 If you're near Boston hit me up! Let's grab coffee and chat about #data, #visualization, #analytics, #AI, #LLMs❤️
