Before revision:  This survey reveals six main processes where the employment of ML techniques can benefit visualizations: VIS-driven Data Processing, Data Presentation, Insight Communication , Style Imitation, VIS Interaction, VIS Perception. The six processes are related to existing visualization theoretical models in an ML4VIS pipeline, aiming to illuminate the role of ML-assisted visualization in general visualizations.
