Seminar Human-Computer Interaction II
Data visualization, also known as information visualisation, is a field concerned with the visual representation of data and interaction with it in order to amplify cognition. This seminar will explore some recent trends and selected chapters in this research domain, e.g. combination of data mining techniques with parallel coordinates visualisation, the evaluation of graph & network visualisation, the representation of uncertainty in visualisation, etc.
Please note that the exact topic of the seminar changes each year, yet stays in the broad context of data visualization.
The goal of this seminar is to review selected chapters in the domain of Data Visualization. Another objective of this seminar is to develop skills in reading, writing and reviewing academic papers. In this context, students will be asked to write and present a state of the art of a sub-domain of the Data Visualization research field. Sub topics such as the combination of data mining techniques with parallel coordinates visualisation, the evaluation of graph & network visualisation, the representation of uncertainty in visualisation etc. will be addressed in this context.
Each student will be assigned a theme within the domain, select state-of-the-art references relevant to the chosen thematic, synthesize these references and present them. There must be an oral presentation done during one of the final seminar sessions, plus in a written report of 4 pages, authored in LaTeX following ACM Strict format.
