Information overload is the by-product of information over-exposure and input abundance which, nowadays, has become an aggravated phenomenon. Simply put, when presented with a large array of options, users are at a higher risk of experiencing impeded cognitive functioning, which may reduce their capacity to perform effective decision-making, derive meanings, and gain insights, especially in situation- and time-sensitive contexts. The SYMBIOTIK project will lay the basis for an interaction dialogue between Human and InfoVis systems to support decision-making processes, inspired by known biological principles and guided by Artificial Intelligence. More concretely, it proposes a novel framework where both the human and the machine cooperate towards a common goal and evolve together. The framework will allow us to engineer more sophisticated intelligent systems, making them more resilient and more human-centric.
