The course extends the course Information Visualization with interactive visualization techniques and systems for special data sets, such as network data, time­dependent data, and text data. Furthermore, we discuss specific applications where information visualizations are used to analyze/explore domain­specific data—e.g., in bioinformatics, geography, software development, etc. The course also reviews possibilities on how visualizations can be validated, evaluated, or used in non­standard contexts like collaborative settings or personal data analysis. The following topics are covered:

-  Visualization techniques and drawing conventions for trees/hierarchies, general network data (graphs), and multivariate/dynamic networks.
-  Visualization techniques for text data and document collections (corpora).
-  Visualization techniques for general time series data.
-  Visualizations for specific application domains including an overview of their usual analysis tasks and data specifics.
-  Collaborative and personal visualization ideas and approaches.
-  Validating and evaluating visualizations.
-  The most important unsolved information visualization challenges.

The course will be given during the period: 2/11, 2020 – 17/1 2021
Please sign up no later than 25/10 2020
