When a display adapts itself to help an analyst, it seems obvious that more intelligent adaptivity should help more. In SYMBIOTIK’s second SOC use case we set out to test that assumption and found something more useful than a confirmation. We showed thirteen participants 48 cyber threat intelligence graphs (624 trials in total) and asked …

Last week researchers from UCLouvain and University of Luxembourg attended the 18th ACM SIGCHI Symposium on Engineering Interactive Computing Systems (EICS) in Patras, Greece. Together, we have contributed 9 publications this year, ranging from tutorials, keynotes, full papers, posters, late breaking works, and demos. We also had time to showcase the SYMBIOTIK prototype!

We had a busy schedule last week in Brussels: The EIC Summit 2026 and the closing EIC Portfolio meeting. We could engage with other visitors, reconnect with colleagues, and even had the chance to demonstrate our final SYMBIOTIK prototype. The 2026 Summit welcomed more than 2000 participants, 130 speakers delivering 17 inspiring Leaders Stage sessions, …
We have achieved a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize adaptive InfoVis systems. Led by AEGIS IT Research, the consortium recently completed the development and delivery of the final prototype of SYMBIOTIK. This is the result of extensive research into smart, self-adaptive dashboards, designed to automatically adjust to the user’s needs, and prevent mental …

The UCLouvain team (N. Attygalle, N. Latreche, A. Sahraoui, N. Szelagowski, G. Van Issum, J. Vanderdonckt) presented some SYMBIOTIK demonstrations during the Printemps des Sciences 2026, a vibrant event dedicated to sharing science with the general public. This year was particularly special because it was its 25th anniversary. The event was held in March 23–29 …
Earlier this month we had the opportunity to showcase our latest neuroadaptive prototype at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 in Barcelona [1]. As the world’s premier event for mobile and digital innovation, MWC provided an excellent setting to present our vision for human-centered interface adaptations. During the exhibition, visitors experienced firsthand how SYMBIOTIK leverages …
I’m excited to be spending the next two weeks in this incredible city for a research visit at the University of Zurich. I’ll be based in the Digital Linguistics Lab, collaborating with the team. My visit involves research collaborations to improve LLM alignment with eye-tracking data and establishing best practices for collecting high-quality signals, getting …
As we move into the final year of the project, to be concluded in September 2026, the consortium stands at an exciting point of momentum. What started with the ambitious vision to rethink how humans and adaptive visual systems collaborate in time-critical decision environments has evolved into a vibrant research and innovation endeavour yielding tangible …

Nowadays, we expect user interfaces (UIs) to be intuitive, responsive, and tailored to our needs. But how do we really measure whether an interface is like that? It is not just a question of speed and clicks. We published a recent open-access study in the Journal of Systems & Software that tackles this very question …
We are excited to share that our team will have a strong presence at this year’s Deep Learning Barcelona Symposium (DLBCN 2025), with several papers accepted across conferences in AI, human–computer interaction, and information retrieval. DLBCN is always an excellent opportunity to connect with the local research community, and this year it provides the perfect …
