Data visualization designers and clients need to communicate effectively with each other to achieve a successful project. Unlike a personal or solo project, working with a client introduces a layer of complexity to the process. Client and designer might have different ideas about what is an acceptable solution that would satisfy the goals and constraints of the project. Thus, the client-designer relationship is an important part of the design process. To better understand the relationship, we conducted an interview study with 12 data visualization designers. We develop a model of a client-designer project space consisting of three aspects: surfacing project goals , agreeing on resource allocation , and creating a successful design . For each aspect, designer and client have their own mental model of how they envision the project. Disagreements between these models can be resolved by negotiation that brings them closer to alignment. We identified three main negotiation strategies to navigate the project space: 1) expanding the project space to consider more potential options, 2) constraining the project space to narrow in on the boundaries, and 3) shifting the project space to different options. We discuss client-designer collaboration as a negotiated relationship, with opportunities and challenges for each side. We suggest ways to mitigate challenges to avoid friction from developing into conflict.

Statistics of AI edit intensity with mean and SD in parentheses. Edit distance is the normalized edit distance between the NPOV-violating text and the neutralization. 'N Changes' is the number of words (excluding stopwords) that the edit changed (i.e., additions plus removals).
Comparing the accuracy of AI edits to edits by Wikipedia editors. In general, conditions had higher recall than precision.
Experiment results. For fluency and neutrality, participants chose between an AI and a human edit. P-values are computed using two-tailed binomial tests for whether the probability of picking an AI edit differs from 0.5. For additions and removals, participants evaluated each of the AI and human edits separately but were shown both at the same time. This table reports human addition and removal data aggregated over both matchups. P-values are from chi-squared tests on whether human vs AI edits differed in frequencies of adding or removing information. 'Delta' is the AI proportion minus the human proportion.

Large language models (LLMs) are trained on broad corpora and then used in communities with specialized norms. Is providing LLMs with community rules enough for models to follow these norms? We evaluate LLMs' capacity to detect (Task 1) and correct (Task 2) biased Wikipedia edits according to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View (NPOV) policy. LLMs struggled with bias detection, achieving only 64% accuracy on a balanced dataset. Models exhibited contrasting biases (some under- and others over-predicted bias), suggesting distinct priors about neutrality. LLMs performed better at generation, removing 79% of words removed by Wikipedia editors. However, LLMs made additional changes beyond Wikipedia editors' simpler neutralizations, resulting in high-recall but low-precision editing. Interestingly, crowdworkers rated AI rewrites as more neutral (70%) and fluent (61%) than Wikipedia-editor rewrites. Qualitative analysis found LLMs sometimes applied NPOV more comprehensively than Wikipedia editors but often made extraneous non-NPOV-related changes (such as grammar). LLMs may apply rules in ways that resonate with the public but diverge from community experts. While potentially effective for generation, LLMs may reduce editor agency and increase moderation workload (e.g., verifying additions). Even when rules are easy to articulate, having LLMs apply them like community members may still be difficult.

... While LLMs can efficiently process large datasets and identify potential citation issues, researchers caution against viewing these models as a replacement of human judgment. Ashkinaze et al. (2024) emphasize that evaluating citations often requires a deeper understanding of context, source reliability, and potential biases. In these areas, human editors are superior to current AI models. ...

... Current research reveals that LLMs exhibit a strong preference toward contextual knowledge over parametric knowledge Xie et al., 2024a). This preference becomes problematic in scenarios involving conflicting knowledge or contextual inconsistencies (Lee et al., 2024;Dai et al., 2024;Tan et al., 2024), often resulting in erroneous outputs as shown in Figure 1. Therefore, enabling large models to effectively integrate between parameter and contextual knowledge remains a critical challenge. ...

... Consequently, participants in the studied sample might have had to cross a larger barrier to relate to issues related to environmental sustainability (Spence et al. 2012), and rely on their fantasy to transpose themselves into fictitious situations (Davis 1983). This finding corroborates findings by Murphy et al. (2021), who observe that novice designers demonstrate a tendency to rely on and impose their own experiences when considering people in the design process. Additionally, these findings highlight the potential interaction between (1) the psychological distance (McDonald et al. 2015) between the designers and the problem/context, and (2) the designers' ability to relate to and identify these requirements-an implication also made by Murphy et al. (2021). ...

... Given its popularity and accessibility, many researchers have conducted studies in Wikipedia, exploring various aspects of the platform, such as its content, structure, and social dynamics. Those studies have provided insights into issues such as automatically assessing article quality (Dalip et al. 2009;Shen, Qi, and Baldwin 2017), analyzing citations (Piccardi et al. 2020;Baigutanova et al. 2023), images (He et al. 2018;Rama et al. 2022), andinfo-boxes (Graells-Garrido, Lalmas, andMenczer 2015;Lewoniewski 2017) or understanding readers' preferences (Lehmann et al. 2014).
