Aerobot - Machine Learning for Marketing and Social Media When we started taking a look at their customer’s behavioral patterns, we noticed that each one of those customers tended to buy a specific set of products. We found movie fans, who love the 2x1 discount in tickets, a lot of foodies, who tend to pick some specific foods from sushi to barbecue, and others who love shopping, enjoying some great discounts in clothing and accesories. This caused an interesting problem: As the number of users and products grew, the brand started feeling generic and not really tailored to anyone in particular. This posed the question: How do we make each one of those individuals feel identified with the brand? (from the website through the newsletters) We arrived at a unique solution: Making a thousand different websites for a thousand different customers By applying clustering algorithms to the consumer database we taught the servers to recognize which customers belonged to each segment. (it turns out that gmail users tend to like going to the movies).

5 | Stamen Turns Facebook Sharing Into Intricate Digital Art We’ve all heard the term “viral.” And no one knows the term better than George Takei, a former crew member on the Enterprise who has found a whole new, outspoken identity on Facebook. Whether it’s gay rights or silly meme-riffic photos, his posts sit at the epicenter of hundreds of thousands of shares. But what does all this sharing look like beyond the like button? Facebook tapped data visualization specialists at Stamen to answer that exact question. The full design story is told over on Stamen’s blog, and it’s a worthy read. Arabesque Ultimately, watching George Takei share a simple Photoshop of Marvin the Martian becomes an almost transcendental experience. I want to use so many cliches to describe this unbelievable animation--fireworks, tentacles, spider legs, starbursts--yet they all fall a little bit short of explaining exactly what it is that we see.

Grand Reductions: 10 Diagrams That Changed City Planning In 1902, Ebenezer Howard, an unassuming stenographer and amateur inventor, published one of the most influential visions in the history of city planning, called Garden Cities of To-morrow. In it, Howard created a series of diagrams that helped to establish the orthodoxy of 20th-century city planning. The crisis behind what Howard called the “Garden City idea” — the pollution and overcrowding of the industrial city — is encapsulated in one diagram’s title: “A Group of Smokeless, Slumless Cities.” Howard proposed decentralizing industrial cities by constructing a regionally coordinated series of smaller Garden Cities in the countryside. Linked by railroads and canals and separated by a permanent greenbelt, the Garden Cities would offer the best of both town and country life to their 32,000 residents, including employment in factories and workshops, affordable rents and abundant open space.

Does Visualization Really Work? Here’s Evidence That It Does Do you remember a scene in The Matrix when Neo opens his eyes and says “I know Kung Fu”? I bet you wished you could learn that fast. I know I did. I have wonderful news for you. You can become an expert in a similar way, just not as fast, by using the power of your mind. What is Visualization? In laymen’s terms, it means recreating all the images, sounds and feelings in your mind surrounding an activity in order to practice in a perfect environment. It may sound hard, but let me prove to you that you can do it. Were you able to imagine the cup of coffee? Don’t worry if you didn’t catch all the details, just like any other skill, you need to practice. Some Proof That This Technique Works This example has been used to death because it proves visualization works time and time again. Australian Psychologist Alan Richardson made a little experiment. The results were astounding. Another great example comes from one of my favorite artists. How to Use Visualization On Route to Expert Status img

Event visualization in a 3D environment Semantic event tracker (SET) is an interactive visualization tool for analyzing events (activities) in a three-dimensional environment. We model an event as an object that describes an action, its location, time, and relations to other objects. Real world event information is extracted from Internet sources, then stored and processed using Semantic Web technologies that enable us to discover semantic associations between events. We use RDF graphs to represent semantic metadata and ontologies. SET is capable of visualizing as well as navigating through the event data in all three aspects of space, time and theme. Temporal data is illustrated as a 3D multi-line in the 3D environment that connects consecutive events. Information Visualization for Knowledge Discovery – MAT 595M Seminar Series Speaker: Ben Shneiderman, University of Maryland–College Park Abstract Interactive information visualization tools provide researchers with remarkable capabilities to support discovery. These telescopes for high-dimensional data combine powerful statistical methods with user-controlled interfaces. This talk reviews the growing commercial success stories such as www.spotfire.com, www.smartmoney.com/marketmap and www.hivegroup.com. and research tools for time series data such as (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/timesearcher ). The central theme is the integration of statistics with visualization as applied to temporal event sequences such as electronic health records (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/lifelines2 and www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/lifeflow) and social network data (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/socialaction and www.codeplex.com/nodexl).
