More about the course content

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