Event Information Booz Allen Hamilton Distinguished Colloquium/ISR Distinguished Lecturer Series: Ben Shneiderman Friday, October 8, 2010 3:00 p.m. 1110 Jeong H. Kim Building For More Information: Booz Allen Hamilton Distinguished Colloquium in Electrical and Computer Engineering ISR Distinguished Lecturer Series Information Visualization for Knowledge Discovery Professor Ben Shneiderman Department of Computer Science University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies University of Maryland Abstract Interactive information visualization tools provide researchers with remarkable capabilities to support discovery. These telescopes for high-dimensional data combine powerful statistical methods with user-controlled interfaces. Users can begin with an overview, zoom in on areas of interest, filter out unwanted items, and then click for details-on-demand. With careful design and efficient algorithms, the dynamic queries approach to data exploration can provide 100msec updates even for million-record databases. This talk will start by reviewing the growing commercial success stories such as www.spotfire.com, www.smartmoney.com/marketmap, and www.hivegroup.com. Then it will cover recent research progress for visual exploration of large time series data applied to financial, medical, and genomic data. These strategies of unifying statistics with visualization are applied to electronic health records and social network data. Demonstrations will be shown.
