Going live this morning! (And yes, the name “Xavier” is inspired by Professor X in X-Men 😉) #CHI2025

[Di Weng 翁荻 @dw_vis]

Our third #CHI2025 paper shifts to coding assistance:

💻 Xavier: Writing data wrangling scripts in notebooks? Existing code completion often ignores your data. Xavier integrates LLMs and data contexts, providing data-aware suggestions & instant previews to make coding faster and more intuitive! 🤖💡

🗓️ Session: Playing with Data
Wed, Apr 30 | 11:58 AM @ Annex Hall F206
Presented by Yunfan Zhou @yunf_zhou

Paper: https://t.co/pYM3ruE21Q

Hope to see you there! (3/3)

Excited to share our work at #CHI2025 this week! We have 3 papers exploring HCI, DataViz & AI. First up:

📄 StructVizor: Struggling with messy semi-structured text data (logs, reviews, etc.)? StructVizor uses LLMs + interaction to help you uncover, visualize, and wrangle hidden structures, streamlining data profiling! ✨

🗓️ Session: Engaging with Data

Right after StructVizor, in the same session at #CHI2025:

📊 RidgeBuilder: Ridgeline plots are great, but often basic. Want to create truly expressive & customized ones? We introduce a design space & RidgeBuilder, an interactive tool for authoring beautiful, bespoke ridgeline plots with optimized layouts! 🎨
