Description:

The talk is usually a 90 minutes session but we will be covering it in the scheduled 30 minute session focusing on the main aspects of effective data visualization with the grammar of graphics, leveraging popular open-source frameworks in Python and also as a bonus cover visualization in unstructured data including text, audio and images.

__Note:__ All the code and resources will be shared and open-sourced for your benefit! So you don't need to take extensive notes and can focus on the presentation\talk.

Outline:

• Introduction
  • What is Data Visualization?
  • Why Data Visualization?
• Motivation
  • Why Effective Data Visualization
• Effective Multi-dimensional Data Visualization
  • Whirlwind tour of the grammar of graphics
• Visualization tools and frameworks
  • General tools & frameworks
  • Python visualization frameworks
  • R visualization frameworks
• Visualizing Structured Data
  • Univariate analysis and visualizations
  • Multivariate analysis and visualizations
  • Visualizing from 1-D up to 6-D
• BONUS: Visualizing Unstructured Data
  • Text
  • Images
  • Audio
• Final words

Learning Outcome

• Take a glance at the major data visulization frameworks
• Get a clear understanding of univariate and multi-variate visualization
• Learn effective strategies for visualizing data using the grammar of graphics
• Get a clear perspective on which visualization techniques work best based on specific scenarios
• Strategies for visualizing structured and unstructured data with actual examples

Prerequisites:

Basics of Python, data terminology (rows, columns, feature, data points, data types) helps but we will be covering briefly during the session. Hence it's not essential.
