Hereby starting my now-traditional enormous #ieeevis thread, for 2022. First live conference since the before times - somewhat surreal to be in Oklahoma City hotel. Crucial info: substantial hot & cold breakfast available today and all other mornings right outside meeting rooms!
Really thoughtful #ieeevis VDA keynote from @jdfaviz on Scalability with Progressive Data Science.

Call to action: don’t ignore or we’ll be irrelevant!

Good defn of progressive: latency controlled, quality monitored, compute time decided by user according to quality. ImageImageImage
Wow, haven’t seen MDSteer in a while, nice to have it in the #ieeevis VDA history discussion :-) Image

Surfacing from virtual.ieeevis.org to start this year's thread of tidbits for your visualization delectation.
We're already deep into 2021 #ieeevis, 2 days down and 4 to go. I've seen a cavalcade of great stuff already, and want to catch up on lots more!
First - yay books! All the CRC/Routledge books in the AK Peters Visualization series, which I co-edit along with @AlbertoCairo, are discounted for everybody at #ieeevis

@AlbertoCairo The Mobile Data Vis book is an edited collection with an all-star cast of contributors, many of the editors and authors are heavily involved with #ieeevis. It's coming out in two months!

Data visualizations are not ‘seen’ in a glance – they require active exploration, across a series of visual filtering operations.

With @talboger + @SBMost, we show that these powerful filters can cause 93% of people to miss a *dinosaur* within the ignored data values. #ieeevis A scatterplot containing blue and green dots, but the green
We gave people a tough visual task within the pattern of blue values, causing them to ignore the green values. 93% missed these ‘Jurassic Marks’ at 1s, and 61% still missed them at 2.5s.

Try the experiment, watch the 8-min talk, or read the paper here: datasaurus-vis.herokuapp.com
What does this mean for you?
When your visualization needs to communicate a data pattern, use ‘storytelling’ (annotate + highlight key values/comparisons), and ask sample viewers what they see.

Otherwise, your audience may not see what you see in your visualization.

Félicitations to Jean-Daniel Fekete on the #ieeevis #vgtc technical achievement award! I always love award talks showcasing career highlights and great collaborators, this one is no exception.
Félicitations to Catherine Plaisant on the #ieeevis #vgtc career award! Another lovely retrospective talk.
So very delighted that the Polaris paper from Chris Stolte, Pat Hanrahan, and Diane Tang -- which led directly to @tableau -- won the #ieeevis #infovis 20 year Test of Time award. Seeing it grow over the weeks and months was a great part of my Stanford years.

In the brave new world of virtual conferences, we've still got a book table at #ieeevis for @CRCPress! It's virtual too. Here's a thread of what's new in the past year, and what's forthcoming, in our visualization books.
@CRCPress Delighted to announce a brand new book that's coming out next week on Nov 2: Visualizing with Text, by @rkbrath!
@CRCPress @rkbrath Very cool that the companion site for Visualizing with Text includes many @observablehq demos

Dove into virtual #ieeevis this morning, along with many others. I've found lots to like already about virtual.ieeevis.org, especially the shuffle by serendipity papers browser. I'll likely be tweeting a lot this week, enjoy or mute as you see fit!
Started off #ieeevis with a bang, my own Visualization Analysis and Design tutorial is running first thing, even as I type. Slides and all videos on our own group's YouTube already posted, see cs.ubc.ca/~tmm/talks.htm…
Just posted a handy thing in the #ieeevis tutorial discord that some folks might not know about: the page from the VAD book site with all my further reading suggestions in one spot, complete with links for all the papers! cs.ubc.ca/~tmm/vadbook/f…

Unpopular opinion on the new #ieeevis Visualization Academy: while a good initiative modeled on @siggraph and @sigchi, initiating it with 28 men and 2 women is a huge problem for inclusivity and diversity. It’s doubling down on 35 years of history not reflective of 2019 values.
In choosing a “base case” for inaugurating the academy, we could have selected one not solely based on the changing demographic of the #ieeevis conference of yesteryear. It is not very welcoming to the young and upcoming researchers who are the future of our field.
I know that the @ieeevgtc are good people and are working on remedying this. However, how this develops in future years is going to be absolutely vital. /end rant.

@veloclubdeVIS Just got to stop 2: old brewery (KINDL).
@veloclubdeVIS Stop 3: airfield-turned-park
@veloclubdeVIS Stop 4: abandoned air from the front

Great start to #ieeevis on Sun morning at #belivws: fiery keynote on open science from @Protohedgehog so good and dense that I just sat back to absorb inspiration for new and better ways to fight the good fight.
@Protohedgehog Good point from @amcrisan following up @Protohedgehog 'penguin metaphor' - not fair that junior penguins asked to test the waters for killer whales while senior tenured penguins wait comfortably on the shore
#ieeevis #belivws
@Protohedgehog @amcrisan Appreciated @Protohedgehog emphasis on all four pillars of OS: in addition to reproducibility, also access, serials, evaluation. Articulate calling out perpetuators of paywalls including commercial (El$evier) and academic (IEEE is major offender) #ieeevis #belivws
