What is Data & Visual Analytics?

No formal definition!

slide-47
SLIDE 47 37

Polo’s definition: 
 the interdisciplinary science of combining 
 computation techniques and 
 interactive visualization 
 to transform and model data to aid 
 discovery, decision making, etc.

What are the “ingredients”?

slide-49
SLIDE 49 38

What are the “ingredients”?

Need to worry (a lot) about: storage, complex system design, scalability of algorithms, visualization techniques, interaction techniques, statistical tests, etc. Wasn’t this complex before this big data era. Why?

What is big data? Why care?

Many businesses are based on big data.

Search engines: rank webpages, predict what you’re going to type Advertisement: infer what you like, based on what your friends like; show relevant ads E-commerce: recommends movies/products (e.g., Netflix, Amazon) Health IT: patient records (EMR) Finance

Good news! Many jobs!

Most companies are looking for “data scientists” The data scientist role is critical for organizations looking to extract insight from information assets for ‘big data’ initiatives and requires a broad combination of skills that may be fulfilled better as a team

  • Data types inform visualization design
  • Data size informs choice of algorithms
  • Visualization motivates more data cleaning
  • Visualization challenges algorithm

assumptions
 e.g., user finds that results don’t make sense

WARNING

slide-60
SLIDE 60

You’ll be writing a lot of code

Q: Is it OK to copy and use code found on the web?
 A: No 
 Q: Why?
 A: Here’s why…

slide-61
SLIDE 61

WARNING: Do not plagiarize!

  • Using code as reference does not mean copying and

modifying it.

  • To use example code as reference, you should go over it,

understand what it is doing, and then try to accomplish what it is trying to do using your own code. And it’s a good practice to cite the the sources (e.g., as part of your code comments).

  • The analogy is like how you would write an essay or a
  • speech. You can get inspirations from others, but you should

use your own words, otherwise it will be considered

  • plagiarism. Plagiarism can lead to severe consequences.

Are You Ready to Take this Course?

  • Require a lot of programming
  • You need to learn many new things in

short amount of time

  • HW2 (D3 data vis) is most demanding:

Javascript + CSS + HTML

  • Very common in industry

From Previous Classes…

  • Class projects turned into papers at top

conferences (KDD, IUI, etc.)

  • Projects as portfolio pieces on CV
  • Increased job and internship opportunities
  • Former students sent me “thank you” notes

“I feel like the concepts from your class are like a rite of passage for an aspiring data scientist. Assignments lead to a feelings of accomplishment and truly progressing in my area of passion.” “I really get more intuition about how to deal with data with some powerful tools in HW3 [uses AWS]. That feeling is beyond description for me.” “I would like to say thank you for your class! Thanks to the skills I got from the class and the project, I got the offer.”
