Introduction to Data Visualization

The Research Computing Center (RCC) is dedicated to providing the University of Chicago community a full-service high-performance computing (HPC) center, including visualization resources, access to software, workshops, one-on-one consulting with domain experts, and complete data-management strategies to researchers across all departments and divisions.

Abstract: Data visualization allows researchers to explore and then display data in ways to help tell a story about it. This workshop will give a brief introduction to data visualization techniques using common Python libraries such as Bokeh and HoloViews. It is designed to help people who have little to no experience or knowledge of basic data visualization methods. The tutorial will begin with an introduction to the concept of data visualization and a discussion of how to design a data visualization workflow. This will be followed by an introduction to useful functions on stereotypical data visualization methods. A hands-on session will be provided as an opportunity for participants to build sample visualizations using example data sets.
