NDAK16009U Cancelled Visualisation (Vis)
MSc Programme in Computer Science
MSc Programme in Computer Science with a minor subject
The course introduces participants to visualisation: the use of interactive visual representations to help people understand and analyse data. Visualisation is central to data-intensive science, business and intelligence analysis, for exploratory data analysis, and for clearly communicating findings in data.
Participants will learn about the foundations of information visualisation and techniques for visually representing different types of data and for supporting different tasks. Students will learn through a practical problem-driven approach to analyse, design, and build visualisations. In particular, through weekly exercises, the course will provide hands-on experience with creating interactive visualisations for the web. The course also emphasises the theoretical foundations of visualisations and includes considerations about current challenges in information visualisation research.
