Do you think this Excel chart is perfect and couldn't benefit from improvements?

If so, don't read below. The same goes if you think all plots in academic papers (and TV news) present data clearly and aesthetically, without exception.

If you have an urge to fix that - good news!
We will fix that using AI during this Brainhack Warsaw (28-30 March 2025)!

"AI Chart Surgeon: Improving Visualizations, One Graph at a Time" by Katarzyna Kańska and me

We're creating an open-source tool during the Brainhack, for the workflow:
Upload plot -> AI extracts data -> AI generates good charts with ggplot2 (or another library with high visualization standards).

We invite people from various fields - researchers, UX/UI designers, data scientists, AI tinkerers, software engineers and anyone dealing with data visualization. This is a cross-disciplinary effort - diverse skills and perspectives are crucial! Especially welcome are students, scientists, and activists working with data.

Application Deadline: 7 March 2025
Note: Previous workshops filled up well before the deadline, so act fast! You need to register on the Brainhack website and complete a qualification task: find a publicly shared chart, explain what's wrong with it and how to fix it (bonus points for actually remaking it).
