Well-formed data Visual Thinking + Synthesis Photo by Ken Yeung I really enjoy talking complex subjects, processes or business problems and boiling them down to their core essence. This is becoming known as the process of "Visual Thinking". I use visual metaphors and storytelling to do this. My style of visual thinking is immediately recognizable and has helped me build a strong following of influential professionals who use my visuals in their own presentations and documents.
Cool Infographics - Blog twistori Supports de cours -- Data Mining Cette page recense les supports utilisés pour mes enseignements de Machine Learning, Data Mining et de Data Science au sein du Département Informatique et Statistique (DIS) de l'Université Lyon 2, principalement en Master 2 Statistique et Informatique pour la Science des donnéEs (SISE), formation en data science, dans le cadre du traitement statistique des données et de la valorisation des big data. Je suis très attentif à la synergie forte entre l'informatique et les statistiques dans ce diplôme, ce sont là les piliers essentiels du métier de data scientist. Attention, pour la majorité, il s'agit de « slides » imprimés en PDF, donc très peu formalisés, ils mettent avant tout l'accent sur le fil directeur du domaine étudié et recensent les points importants. Cette page est bien entendu ouverte à tous les statisticiens, data miner et data scientist, étudiants ou pas, de l'Université Lyon 2 ou d'ailleurs. Nous vous remercions par avance.

Data Visualization and Infographics - Smashing Magazine Advertisement The main goal of data visualization is its ability to visualize data, communicating information clearly and effectivelty. It doesn’t mean that data visualization needs to look boring to be functional or extremely sophisticated to look beautiful. To convey ideas effectively, both aesthetic form and functionality need to go hand in hand, providing insights into a rather sparse and complex data set by communicating its key-aspects in a more intuitive way. Yet designers often tend to discard the balance between design and function, creating gorgeous data visualizations which fail to serve its main purpose — communicate information. In both print and web design infographics — visual representations of information, data or knowledge — are often used to support information, strengthen it and present it within a provoking and sensitive context, depending on designer’s creativity.
