Description: ECE Seminar*
Topic: VISUAL ANALYTICS
Speaker: Dr. Maoyuan Sun, Assistant Professor, Computer and Information Science Department, UMass Dartmouth
Location: DION -Room 109
Abstract:
We are in the midst of a data deluge that shows no signs of slowing down. Human behavior is increasingly mediated by technology that captures and transmits data at speeds and scales never before imagined. Enabling humans to make sense of such big data offers almost boundless possibilities for us to learn about ourselves and improve the world. In this talk, I will give an overview of the research field, visual analytics, which marries advanced computation with human cognition for supporting sensemaking activities. I will present my work on interfacing machine learning to scale up its usage beyond data processing, and discuss the role of machine learning in visual analytics.
Biography:
Maoyuan Sun is an Assistant Professor in the Computer and Information Science Department, at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. His research seeks to create effective human-in-the-loop methods to support sensemaking of big data. His work falls in the areas of visual analytics, information visualization, human computer interaction and human-centered machine learning, with applied domains in intelligence analysis, business intelligence and cyber security. Maoyuan received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Virginia Tech in 2016.
The Seminars is open to the public free of charge.
