Human-Data Interaction Lab
The Human-Data Interaction Lab is a research group within the Department of Computer Science at Yonsei University, dedicated to exploring the interaction between data and humans.
Research Topic
Data Visualization
Data visualization is the practice of transforming raw data into graphical representations that are easy to understand, interpret, and act upon. It bridges the gap between complex datasets and meaningful insights, enabling researchers and stakeholders to make informed decisions.
Natural Language Interfaces for Data Visualization
Data-Driven Communication and Storytelling
Interactive Exploration of Text/Image/Video Data
Data Visualization for Responsible AI
Human-AI Interaction and Collaboration
Investigate how humans and AI collaborate effectively through visualization. Our research explores various aspects of human-AI interaction, ensuring that AI systems are designed with human needs and feedback in mind.
Evaluation of Generative AI Models
Human-in-the-loop Workflows for AI Systems
Collaboration Dynamics Between Humans and AI Agents
AI-Powered Persona Development and Application
Inclusive Data Experiences
Ensure accessibility and inclusivity in data visualization. Our research focuses on designing data experiences that are adaptable to diverse user needs, enabling equitable access to information regardless of ability, device, or background.
Accessible Data Visualization
Synergistic Multimodal Interaction
Mobile Data Access and Exploration
Digital Literacy for Marginalized Populations
