Ever wanted to create a diverging stacked dot plot with Vega, Vega-Lite & Altair Vega-Lite? It's easier than you think! Check out this example live on the Vega editor: tinyurl.com/ycycsaec Prefer squares over dots/circles? Here's a short video on how to do that (view in full screen).

AI-powered code for BI tools will be a game changer. Create complex Vega specs with prompts, and populate their data with a simple SQL query. (A teaser from something Alexander Thor is working on at @rilldata -- more coming soon.)

Our research group @apple is recruiting PhD student interns working in #visualization + #machinelearning. Past interns have published award-winning papers and deployed interactive tools that impact billions. Come work with us! → apple.box.com/v/hcmi-interns…

Why does Association for Computing Machinery and ACM SIGCHI still use \Description instead of alt in includegraphics to add alt text for figures in latex?

We're #hiring Tenure Track Faculty to join the CMU School of Computer Science CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute team in Fall 2025. We invite applicants from all #HumanComputerInteraction (HCI) subject areas to apply before December 11, 2024. 🔗Details: hcii.cmu.edu/job/tenure-tra…

Very excited today about the first workshop on accessibility 🧑‍🦯 + visualization 📊 at IEEE VIS: accessviz.github.io.

Amazing pre-UIST demos and party. Loved seeing people, demos, and the setup for the dance floor and DJ.

So excited our paper won Best Short Paper at #ieeevis 2024😎 I presented on behalf of the team at kanaries and HKUST VisLab, but credit goes far beyond the author list—huge thanks to the open-source community for making this possible!

In an age of LARGE models, how do we support people in making them SMALLER? Compress and Compare is an interactive visual system tackling this question! Check it out tomorrow IEEE VIS w/ Venkat Sivaraman Yannick Assogba Donghao Ren Dominik Moritz Fred Hohman Apple 🍎machinelearning.apple.com/research/compr…

Curious how visualizations 📊 can help better align images from the NASA Mars rovers and helicopters? Check out arxiv.org/abs/2408.03503

One of my new all time favorite images of #Pittsburgh. The fog this morning was incredible, and I had a feeling that the sunlight would cast a shadow of PPG Place on that fog from the West End Bridge. Luckily the conditions worked out, allowing for this amazing scene to unfold.

My guilty pleasure is trying new JavaScript build tools.
