Interactive Visualization for Data-Driven Reasoning

The newly formed PPI Center is a multi-university, industry-focused research center under the supervision of the US National Science Foundation (NSF). It supports the next big growth in Internet of Things (IoT) systems thatpushes Pervasive Personalized Intelligence (PPI) to the edge of the network, where latency is critical, and mobility, privacy, and context awareness are essential qualities toenable an entirely new class of applications with intelligence that is predictive instead of reactive.

Want to learn about cutting-edge data viz? Prof. Danielle Albers Szafir speaks about "Interactive Visualization for Data-Driven Reasoning".

We look forward to your participation in a future PPI event.

Visualizations allow analysts to rapidly explore and make sense of their data. People can use visualizations to intuitively explore and make sense of data, driving sense making and reasoning. However, the insights people derive from data depend on the ways visualizations present that data. Further, the scales of modern datasets often surpass the amount of data a standard bar chart or line graph can support, requiring innovative designs and mixed-initiative approaches coupling statistical and visual analysis. The first half of the talk will discuss the state of the art in data visualization, focusing on challenges associated with data scale and advances in display technology.The second half of the talk will explore on-going work at the University of Colorado that models how people interpret visualized data and how we can use these models to drive novel visualization systems that support accurate analysis of complex data that better scale to the needs of modern analytics. I will discuss specific projects incorporating interactive statistical analytics and novel display technologies to increase the accessibility, scalability, and pervasiveness of data-driven reasoning. I will close by discussing the potential of these approaches to drive innovative IoT solutions.
