style="color:black">The Internet Graphics group at Microsoft
Research Asia (Beijing) is seeking applicants for associate
researchers and researchers. The Internet Graphics group
just initiated research in the general area of information
visualization, intelligent user interaction, and visual
analytics. In particular, we are interested in designing and
developing novel visual metaphors and interactive
visualization algorithms and technologies that help average
users or business users easily consume huge amounts of
complex data/information to discover patterns and derive
insights. Our group is multi-disciplinary, with members from
fields ranging from information visualization, intelligent
user interaction, and computer graphics. We also closely
collaborated with the Machine Learning and Data Mining
groups at MSRA. The complimentary nature of our skills
creates an exciting environment for research and
exploration.
