Charts can be social artifacts that communicate more than just data
Researchers find that design elements of data visualizations influence viewers’ assumptions about the source of the information and its trustworthiness.
A human-centered approach to data visualization
Balancing automation and agency, Associate Professor Arvind Satyanarayan develops interactive data visualizations that amplify human creativity and cognition.
Melding data, systems, and society
A new book from Professor Munther Dahleh details the creation of a unique kind of transdisciplinary center, uniting many specialties through a common need for data science.
By fabricating semiconductor-free logic gates, which can be used to perform computation, researchers hope to streamline the manufacture of electronics.
Researchers argue that in health care settings, “responsible use” labels could ensure AI systems are deployed appropriately.
Machine learning and the microscope
PhD student Xinyi Zhang is developing computational tools for analyzing cells in the age of multimodal data.
A system to keep cloud-based gamers in sync
By synchronizing media streams transmitted from the cloud to two devices, researchers could improve cloud gaming and AR/VR applications.
Celebrating the impact of IDSS
Taking the place of IDSS’s annual statistics and data science conference SDSCon, the celebration also doubled as a way to recognize Dahleh for his work creating and executing the vision of IDSS as he prepares to step down from his director position this summer.
In-home wireless device tracks disease progression in Parkinson’s patients
By continuously monitoring a patient’s gait speed, the system can assess the condition’s severity between visits to the doctor’s office.
A geometric deep-learning model is faster and more accurate than state-of-the-art computational models, reducing the chances and costs of drug trial failures.
