Three years after presenting it as a short paper at @ieeevis 2022, UMATO is now introduced in @ieee_tvcg! Huge thanks to the collaborators and also contributors who helped in making UMATO a stable open source!! Preprint: https://t.co/ocLrExVoe8 Repo:

Stop Misusing t-SNE and UMAP! (1) "Verifies" common misuse of t-SNE and UMAP, (2) reveals the causes behind, and (3) guides how to use them properly @ieeevis review said "I do not agree" 🥲 Still, we will keep our effort to disseminate this message 🤣 https://t.co/t7p0mRWXx3

The 3rd Korea visualization (K-VIS 2025) workshop will be held at @postech2020 on 11th July (Fri)!! We welcome all those interested in data visualization research (from not only Korea but also other countries) to attend. Visit https://t.co/4QkQlpTJWy to register!

Now is a new application period, during which I received several requests to share my application materials for the Google Ph.D. fellowship. As I benefited from publicly shared resources for my application, I am also making my materials available. https://t.co/83qlqzvOIR

(1/3) 🚀 Excited to present our work at #CHI2025! Leveraging Multimodal LLM for Inspirational UI Search Session 📍 Innovations in Interaction Design 🗓️ Tue, Apr 29 | 11:10 AM – 12:40 PM | Annex Hall F206

Hope every "student" has successfully submitted their papers to @ieeevis #vis2025!! Now it's time to apply for a student volunteer (SV)! (~Aug 16th) Being an SV helps you connect with fellow students and seniors; it also provides financial support!! https://t.co/4bUQvKZ8rN

Huge thanks to the team --- @MichaelAupetit, Aeri, DongHwa, @seokhyeon_park, and my advisor, Jinwook!

Actually, this research is a "prequel" of our previous @ieeevis paper "Classes are not clusters", which we resolved the same form of using class labels for evaluating dimensionality reduction projections!! https://t.co/feUpblQJsd

We quantify the degree to which class labels match with intrinsic clusters, which we denote as cluster-label matching! By doing so, we "inspect" whether class labels, which are often used as ground truth clusters for evaluating clustering metrics, truly form clusters or not

Excited to share that our latest paper on reliable clustering validation has been accepted to IEEE #TPAMI !! It took over three years to publish this paper....but the team finally made it available to share with the world!! Link: https://t.co/688jB92uiW (1/n)

Thrilled to receive the Google PhD Fellowship in Human-Computer Interaction and Visualization!! Special thanks to my advisor, Jinwook, wonderful collaborators, @SeoulNatlUni, and @ieeevis community for providing me unlimited support!! Also appreciate @GoogleAI for the honor!!

Please join our @ieeevis panel "(Yet Another) Evaluation Needed?" via Zoom!! 10:15 AM EDT!! We will discuss how many evaluations are necessary to validate research contributions effectively in the visualization field!! https://t.co/QRAHeBYF9T

🚀Excited to present Diffusion Explainer at the @ieeevis tomorrow at 1:45pm EST in the AI & LLM session! Try it now: https://t.co/VlEEhKbmbx #StableDiffusion #GenerativeAI #AI #Visualization #IEEEVIS2024

This evening, members of the core committee, VEC, and IEEE met with the TradeWinds Island Grand Hotel manager for an update on the status of the damages. Unfortunately, the damages are significant enough that we will be unable to hold IEEE VIS 2024 on their property.

I think this take is pretty spot on. The HCI community has spent so much energy on flag-planting papers and low-hanging fruit with LLMs. This trend has taken resources and attention away from deeper, more rigorous, and more impactful work. We’re following ML’s race to the bottom.

Today, @donghoon_io gave a talk entitled "Leveraging Generative AI to Assist Designers in Performing Evidence-based Design Activities" at @SeoulNatlUni !! Thanks Donghoon for an insightful and interesting talk 🙃🙃🙃

Apply to be a student volunteer (SV) in @ieeevis 2024!! Please refer to https://t.co/R4msRDZjxY for more details --- see you in Florida!! Form:

Thank you for the invite --- was an exciting and interesting experience to share my research with undergraduates 😃

Invited Talks are the students' favorite part of CSE333 Intro to HCI every year. This year we were lucky to have @hcibabyuran, @jeonhyeon11, and @taejunkim_13! Thanks for sharing your exciting HCI research in different time zones and traveling with a suitcase for in-person demo!

HCI researcher's paradox: step 1: Realize that we shouldn't just use LLMs to solve any problem. Step 2: Go ahead and apply LLMs to some random problem anyway and write a CHI paper about it. P.S. I might be a victim of this paradox too :-)
