Human-Centered Machine Learning Through Interactive Visualization: Review and Open Challenges

Abstract. The goal of visual analytics (VA) systems is to solve complex problems by integrating automated data analysis methods, such as machine learning (ML) algorithms, with interactive visualizations. We propose a conceptual framework that models human interactions with ML components in the VA process, and makes the crucial interplay between automated algorithms and interactive visualizations more concrete. The framework is illustrated through several examples. We derive three open research challenges at the intersection of ML and visualization research that will lead to more effective data analysis.
