The 6th #VizTIG Symposium will be held on the 5th of September, in the Catalyst, Newcastle.
About the event
This symposium is an initiative from the Visualization Turing Interest Group (VizTIG).
This one day symposium will explore the latest science and engineering in data visualisation, including guest speakers, lighting talks, and posters from leading UK researchers and practitioners, and a forward-thinking keynote from an international speaker.
This event is suitable for individuals who are interested in the following areas of data science and AI:
- Visualisation and visual analytics experts
- Data engineers seeking to design data systems and ETL pipelines without bias
- Data scientists seeking to understand the operation of analytics and machine learning.
- Business and financial analysts seeking insights to live and historical data streams.
- High-level decision-makers seeking accurate, timely summaries of complex uncertain events.

Christophe Hurter is a Professor at the University of Toulouse in France, where he leads the Interactive Data Visualization group (DataVis) at the French Civil Aviation University (ENAC). His research expertise encompasses several pivotal areas, including Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), Big Data and Information Visualization (InfoVis), Immersive Analytics, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
Christophe will present his work on explainable AI and visualization, including two European projects, CODA and TRUSTY. The CODA project aims to create a collaborative human-machine system by integrating prediction models for task allocation, neurophysiological assessment to monitor operator mental states, and adaptable AI systems for safety. TRUSTY leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance efficiency and safety in the global deployment of Remote Digital Towers (RDT).

The Catalyst is our new ground breaking facility that is home to the UK’s National Innovation Centre for Ageing (NICA) and the National Innovation Centre for Data (NICD). The building hosts a suite of bespoke facilities and a range of flexible office space. This enabled the creation of a tightly coupled and supportive ecosystem between the innovation centres and commercial organisations with a focus on either delivering new insights through data analytics or delivering new products and services which help us to age well, for longer.
