We are the VIA Lab (Visualization and Intelligence Augmentation) at
UC Davis.
Chasing “big data, intelligent algorithms, and intuitive interfaces”,
we build visualization-empowered human-AI teaming systems to augment human intelligence,
Our goal is to make the data-to-decision process not only
accurate and
efficient, but also
accessible,
understandable, and
acceptable to users.

About Curiosity:
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day."
— Albert Einstein
