[Infovis] Invitation to IEEE VIS 2020 TREX Workshop, Sunday Oct. 25 12 - 3:30 pm (US Mountain Time)

[Nourani,Mahsan]

Dear colleagues,

Please save the date: Sunday, October 25, 12:00 pm to 3:30 pm (US Mountain Time)

We would like to invite you to *virtually* attend our first workshop on TRust and EXpertise in Visual Analytics (TREX VIS 2020) that will take place in conjunction with IEEE VIS 2020. The workshop is focused on human-centered concerns, challenges, and considerations---such as trust, domain expertise, cognitive biases, and algorithmic transparency---with AI-powered visualization systems (especially visual analytics tools). Please help us spread the word to anyone who might be interested.

Aside from the amazing papers that got accepted and will be presented, we have three amazing invited speakers that will present timely and interesting talks:

- Steven Franconeri (Northwestern University): The psychology of Trust
- Jenn Wortman Vaughan (Microsoft Research): Intelligibility Throughout the Machine Learning Life Cycle
- Bum Chul Kwon (IBM Research): Towards Visual Analytics for AI Transparency and Trust in Healthcare

More information about these invited talks (including speaker bios and talk abstracts) can be found here: https://trexvis.github.io/Workshop2020/speakers.html

The workshop will take place in two sessions and streamed on YouTube. Each session will include presentations with 5-minute Q&A per presentation open to the audience to interact with the speakers and ask questions. We will also have a round table discussion panel at the end of each session and the audience are encouraged to engage through asking questions as well. The workshop schedule is now up and includes links to the accepted papers as well: https://trexvis.github.io/Workshop2020/papers.html

We are excited to be a part of IEEE VIS this year and look forward to *virtually* meeting each and every one of you. The workshop flyer is attached for your reference.

Best,
