The paper investigates how large language models (LLMs) interpret ambiguous or incomplete text prompts for visualization authoring and introduces visual prompts as a complementary modality to improve precision. An empirical study informs the design of VisPilot, a system that allows users to create visualizations using text, sketches, and direct manipulation. A controlled user study and expert evaluation show that multimodal prompts help users convey spatial constraints, local references, and design preferences while maintaining task efficiency comparable to text-only prompting.

MedVA is an end‑to‑end neuro‑symbolic agentic system designed to streamline medical volume visualization. It combines a neuro‑symbolic intent formulation agent that refines natural‑language requests with symbolic reasoning, a multi‑model ROI identification agent that uses pretrained medical segmentation models to locate specified regions, and an objective‑driven visualization optimization agent that evaluates ROI visibility using a volume‑based objective. Extensive evaluations and a formative user study demonstrate the system’s effectiveness and high usability across users with varying expertise.

OSWorld-Science is a benchmark and evaluation environment for computer-using agents that use visual language models (VLMs) to perform scientific software tasks. It includes 12 VLMs and 146 high-quality tasks across domains such as molecular drawing, pathology image analysis, statistical computing, and physical simulation, with artifact-based evaluation and a harness that logs interactions and supports model comparison. The benchmark was developed through expert proposals and iterative human–AI co‑design, and results show that current VLMs still struggle with key scientific questions, offering insights into factors like language, reasoning, and context length.
