Well designed visualizations capitalize on human facilities forprocessing visual information and thereby improve comprehension,memory, inference, and decision making. In this course we will studytechniques and algorithms for creating effective visualizations basedon principles from graphic design, visual art, perceptual psychologyand cognitive science. The course is targeted both towards studentsinterested in using visualization in their own work, as well asstudents interested in building better visualization tools andsystems.
This course focuses on (i) data management systems, (i) exploratory and statistical data analysis, (ii) data and information visualization, and (iv) the presentation and communication of analysis results. It will be centered around case studies drawing extensively from applications, and will yield a publicly-available final project that will strengthen course participants' data science portfolios.
