[Ieee_vis] IEEE CG&A CFP: Special Issue on Powering Visualization with Deep Learning

[siwei fu]

Dear Colleagues:

IEEE
 Computer Graphics and Applications plans a Sept. 2021 special issue
on Deep Learning Powered Visualization, which advances visualization
applications using deep learning techniques. The great success of deep
learning techniques in computer vision, natural language processing,
and speech recognition offers new opportunities for data visualization
and analytics. We can leverage these technologies not only to
recognize visual representations but also to understand analytical
tasks.

Introducing deep learning techniques into visualization tasks,
however, faces challenges. For example, high-quality training samples
are hard to collect for allowing end-to-end deep learning techniques
to work optimally. Unlike computer vision applications relying on
natural images or videos, meaningful visualization content requires
experts to generate and validate, which is extremely difficult to
produce at scale. In addition, visualization content has clear
contours and textures, which is different from natural images.
Therefore, debates exist on the applicability of deep-learning
techniques in visualization tasks.

For this special issue, we are soliciting papers that describe
algorithms, data structures, tools, and systems that use deep learning
or facilitate the use of deep learning for visualization tasks. More
specifically, we are looking for contributions that demonstrate the
practical impact of deep learning on (but not limited to) the
following topics:

*  Dataset for visualization tasks
*  Data-driven quality metrics for visualization
*  Deep learning models and training schemes for visualization tasks
*  Predictive visual analytics
*  The creation and recommendation of visualization content
*  Understanding visualization-oriented natural language
*  Visualization captioning
*  Deep learning models for interactive visual analytics
*  Visualization for deep learning tasks
