Graphisme et Visualisation 2019

As the amount of on-line data is growing faster than the speed of computers to process them, it becomes harder and harder to analyze this data and to understand it both at a global level and a smaller scales. Such understanding is nevertheless a necessary prerequisite to any decision process. The goal of Information Visualization is to create visual representations that allow users to understand abstract data and to provide users with interaction capabilities that are designed to efficiently navigate and analyze these representations.

The course presents the most recent works in this research domain by successively looking at the various types of visualizations according to the type of data being analyzed: tabular data, hierarchical data, graphs, texts.
