Visualization turns data into intuitive visual representations and allows people to quickly see, interact, and analyze the patterns in the data. As an old saying goes “a picture worth a thousand words”, visualization can significantly improve the abilities of people to understand and interpret the data and analysis results. Visual analytics is an emerging research area that evolves from visualization, which aims to support “analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces”. Visual analytics can enable human-machine intelligence that effectively integrates human knowledge and expertise into powerful data mining algorithms through highly interactive visualizations. Visualization and visual analytics have been used in many applications to tackle various important problems in the big data era, such as tackling urban issues like traffic jam and air pollution, making better diagnostic and treatment decisions, preventing threats and fraud in business, optimizing rescue efforts, forecasting severe weather conditions, and achieving situational awareness during crisis.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="m_991734791367535462gmail-m_-2925306616876193513MsoPlainText" style="font-size:12.8px">This special issue will introduce the readership to the latest innovations and provide a spotlight on emerging and promising research topics in visual analytics and visualization for highly effective human-machine intelligence.
