Powering Visualization with Deep Learning

The articles in this Special Issue focus on the application of deep learning techniques in visualization. The great success of deep learning techniques in computer vision, natural language processing, and speech recognition offers new opportunities for data visualization and analytics. We can leverage these technologies not only to recognize visual representations but also to understand analytical tasks. However, introducing deep learning techniques into visualization tasks faces new challenges and problems to solve. In this issue, we present six articles that illustrate how deep learning techniques interact with visualization.
