Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) mutually support each other: AI-powered algorithms empower data scientists to analyze Big Data and thereby exploit its full potential whereas Big Data enables Machine Learning (ML) specialists to comfortably design, validate and deploy AI models. This workshop's objective is to examine the importance and necessity of a third, a more straightforward relationship of Big Data and AI: AI supporting all user stereotypes and organizations involved in Big Data Analysis on their exploration journey from raw input data to insight and effectuation as modeled in Bornschlegl's IVIS4BigData.

Although there exist valid challenges (e.g. shortage of highly skilled Big Data Analysis experts, lack of individualization and context-awareness in Advanced Visual User Interfaces, few automated Big Data Analysis workflows), only little research is conducted focusing on this third relationship. This proposal targets to change that. In this way, the overall scope and goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers active in these areas to achieve a road map, which can support the acceleration in research activities by means of transforming, enriching, and deploying AI models and algorithms as well as intelligent advanced visual user interfaces supporting creation, configuration, management and usage of distributed Big Data Analysis.

As you might have heard, due to the current COVID-19 situation in Europe, AVI 2020 has been moved to September 28 – October 2, 2020. Nevertheless, the workshop will take place as scheduled on June 9 with minor adaptations: Virtual workshop will be held on June 9 (part 1) as well as the workshop at AVI in Italy (part 2) offline. Every participant of the virtual workshop is allowed to participate in person in part 2 - yet participation is not mandatory and serves to deepen scientific exchange and discuss the by-then results of the research road map.

Registration Fees: No fees for the virtual workshop.
