Tutor / TA (open)

We are looking for a motivated student (m/f/d) to be tutor/teaching assistant in the Interactive Visual Data Analysis (IVDA) Lecture the upcoming fall semester 2025.
The IVDA Lecture covers areas of visual analytics, interactive data science, and interactive machine learning. As part of the teaching team, you will help run the class smoothly and provide a positive learning experience for students.

Our primary research focus is at the intersection between Information Visualization, Visual Analytics, Human-Computer Interaction, and Machine Learning. Your support is necessary to help the group follow a human-centered approach to data science, in order to foster the involvement of humans in the data analysis process with interactive visual interfaces. Your implementations will help to combine different strengths of humans and machines in an iterative and incremental data analysis process in order to tackle remaining data science challenges:

• Examples for data-oriented challenges are heterogeneous data, dirty data, uncertain data, or unlabeled data.
• Important model-oriented challenges include data pre-processing, model building, model quality assessment, or model explanation.
• Particularly interesting user-oriented challenges are different degrees of user expertise, users’ personalization intents, and understanding and supporting user preferences with respect to data and tasks.
