Seminar Title: Visualizing Ultra-Scale Data
Abstract: Advanced computing and imaging technologies enable
scientists to study natural phenomena at unprecedented precision,
resulting in an explosive growth of data. The size of the collected
information about the Internet and mobile device users is expected to
be even greater, a daunting challenge we must address in order to
make sense and maximize utilization of all the available information.
Visualization transforms large quantities of, possibly multiple-
dimensional, data into graphical representations that exploit the
high-bandwidth channel of the human visual system, leveraging the
brain's remarkable ability to detect patterns and draw inferences. It
has thus become an indispensable tool in many areas of study
involving large data. I will introduce several effective solutions to
the large data visualization problems found in a variety of areas
from physical science, security, to software development.
