Visual Analytics and Data Visualization Tools
Junfeng Qu, Ph.D.

Professor

Department of Computer Science and Information Technology

College of Information & Mathematical Sciences

Clayton State University, USA


Visual analytics has a wide spectrum of applications such as finance, business, medical, health care,insurance, money laundering, capital crimes, terrorism, security, internet security, and network analysisetc. People use visualization tools and techniques to synthesize information and derive insightfrom massive, dynamic, ambiguous, and often conflicting data. The overall goal is to detect theexpected and discover the unexpected. Data visualization and mining is a multidisciplinary field,we will focus on the following areas:


1. Data representations and transformations techniques that covers the datatransformation and conversion of data in ways that support visualization and analysis
2. Analytical reasoning techniques that enable users to obtain deep insights to support assessment, planning, and decision making
3. Visual reorientations and interaction techniques that take advantage of the human perception principles to allow users to see, explore, and understand large amounts of information
