• Title: Using Large Language Models to Generate Engaging Captions for Data Visualizations
• Authors: Ashley Liew, Klaus Mueller
• Abstract summary: Large language models (LLM) use sophisticated deep learning technology to produce human-like prose. Key challenge lies in designing the most effective prompt for the LLM, a task called prompt engineering. We report on first experiments using the popular LLM GPT-3 and deliver some promising results.

• Abstract: Creating compelling captions for data visualizations has been a longstanding challenge. Visualization researchers are typically untrained in journalistic reporting and hence the captions that are placed below data visualizations tend to be not overly engaging and rather just stick to basic observations about the data. In this work we explore the opportunities offered by the newly emerging crop of large language models (LLM) which use sophisticated deep learning technology to produce human-like prose. We ask, can these powerful software devices be purposed to produce engaging captions for generic data visualizations like a scatterplot. It turns out that the key challenge lies in designing the most effective prompt for the LLM, a task called prompt engineering. We report on first experiments using the popular LLM GPT-3 and deliver some promising results.

  Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate extraordinary abilities in a wide range of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. We show that, beyond text understanding capability, LLMs are capable of processing text layouts denoted by spatial markers. We show that layout understanding ability is beneficial for building efficient visual question-answering (VQA) systems.

  Visual program synthesis is a promising approach to exploit the reasoning abilities of large language models for compositional computer vision tasks. Previous work has used few-shot prompting with frozen LLMs to synthesize visual programs. No dataset of visual programs for training exists, and acquisition of a visual program dataset cannot be easily crowdsourced.
