The Week in Vis 12 (Mon, Nov 16-Fri, Nov 20): Graphs
Now we switch gears from the low level (perception) to something more computational.
Graphs (as in “networks” not charts) are a common and important data type (or kind of data type). They have unique challenges and a rich literature. We can spend a whole semester on graphs - but we won’t.
We’ll have a graphs design exercise (details forthcoming), and DC3: The Tree of Stuff is mainly about a specific kind of graph. DC3-1: Project Kickoff (due Mon, Nov 16) and DC3-2: DC3 Survey (due Mon, Nov 23) don’t ask for much - but you might want to get started on the assignment since the end of the semester has a way of coming up fast.
But… this week we’ll have a special guest lecture that probably won’t be about graphs. Prof. Alex Endert from Georgia Tech will talk about interactive systems for analysis. Alex’s group has built many systems - some of them for graphs. But I think his focus will be broader than just graphs.
DC3 is starting up.
- DC3-1: Project Kickoff (due Mon, Nov 16)
- Online Discussion 12: Graphs (due Tue, Nov 17)
- Seek and Find 12: Graphs (due Fri, Nov 20)
- Lecture on Weds, Nov 18 Alex Endert Guest Lecture
- Lecture on Friday, Nov 20 Lecture on Graphs
- Survey 12: Graphs (due Fri, Nov 20) - these are helping me help you, as well as (hopefully) helping you reflect on the material.
