CS 6323 Large-Scale Visual Analytics

3 Credits

Visual analytics combines interactive visual interfaces and information visualization techniques with automatic algorithms to support analytical reasoning through human-computer interaction. People use visual analytics tools and techniques to synthesize information and derive insight from massive, dynamic, ambiguous, and often conflicting data, and to communicate their findings effectively for decision-making. This course will serve as an introduction to the science and technology of visual analytics and will include lectures on both theoretical foundations and application methodologies. The goals of this course are for students to develop a comprehensive understanding of this emerging, multidisciplinary field, and apply that understanding toward a focused research problem in a real-world application or a domain of personal interest.
