SUMMARY:Vortrag | Prof. Georges Grinstein, UMass Center for Data Science, University of Rochester, USA
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nSprecher\n\n\nProf. Georges Grinstein, UMass Center for Data Science, University of Rochester, MA,\nUSA\n\n\n\n\n\nTitel\n\n\n\nVisual Analytics: A Modern View of its Future and Research Opportunities\n\n\n\n\n \n\nBig data comes in many forms: millions of variables, billions of records, large document, image,\naudio and video collections, real-time sensor feeds, and of course combinations of these. Big data\nhas many descriptive definitions including the classic three, four or five Vs (volume, velocity,\nvariety, veracity, value). Add complexity in data and tasks, and we now have numerous implications\nfor visual analytics one of which is that decisions need to be made rapidly, often in seconds or\nminutes (think trading on the stock market or air traffic sensor feeds). The human is now in\ntrouble and we are not un-similar to primitive man with primitive tools.\nScientific Data Visualization, Information Visualization and Visual Analytics share the same\npipeline aimed at data to human consumption: start with data, analyze that data, and produce visual\nrepresentations on various interactive media and for diverse applications. There are some minor\ndifferences but all in all they’re quite similar. All three have very analogous Grand Challenges\n(scalability, developing a theory, streaming visualizations, computing the best presentation, etc…)\n. I’ve spoken on such and other grand challenges in each of these areas over the last 30 years,\nidentifying what wicked problems really need to be addressed and which key problems would have\ntremendous impact.\nIn this talk I will provide an alternative and expanded view. I’ll provide a very rapid overview\nof key issues with humans, interactive visualization and visual analytics, and highlight several\npoints which need to be addressed (think research opportunities). I will present three related\nchallenges I am currently working on as examples: ultra high dimensional interactive data\nvisualization; visualization theory; and coupled interactive visualization and machine\nlearning.\n\nSpeaker’s Bio\nGeorges Grinstein is a new member of the UMass Amherst Computer Science Department and Center\nfor Data Science. Prior to his joining UMass he was Professor of Computer Science at the University\nof Massachusetts Lowell, head of its Bioinformatics Program and Director of its Institute for\nVisualization and Perception Research. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of\nRochester in 1978.\nWell-known in the visualization community, Dr. Grinstein is a member of IEEE’s “Visualization\nPioneers Group”, routinely serves as Chair or Co-Chair for major visualization and visual-analytics\nrelated conferences and review panels, and provides tutorials and training sessions many times per\nyear. He has had over 300 research grants, products in use nationally and internationally, several\npatents, numerous publications in journals and conferences, co-authored several textbooks on\nvisualization and visual analytics, founded several companies, directed the development of Weave,\nan open source web-based visualization system, and has served as a consultant to NIST, NASA, DARPA,\nUSAF, PNNL, CDC, IBM, Pfizer, and Boehringer Ingelheim among many others and now with STRATCOM,\nSerono/Merck and Bristol Meyers Squibb. He has given numerous keynotes, and mentored over 40\ndoctoral students and hundreds of graduate students. He has been on the editorial boards of several\njournals in Computer Graphics and Data Mining, a member of ANSI and ISO, and a NATO Expert.\nFor the last ten years he has co-chaired the IEEE VAST Challenges in visual analytics focusing\non critical research needs, been a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s Center of\nExcellence CCICADA (Command, Control and Interoperability Center for Advanced Data Analysis) and is\nnow centering his research activities on developing cognitively integrative visualizations and\nvisual analytics systems.\n\nhttps://www.cics.umass.edu/faculty/directory/grinstein-georges\n\n\n\n\n\nSee \nhttp://www.sfbtrr161.de/events/events.html\nfor all events of the Collaborative Research Center/Transregio 161
