COMPSCI 2710
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
Students will read, analyze, present, and discuss research papers in data visualization. Throughout the semester, we will examine seminal works and recent state-of-the-art research in information visualization, scientific visualization, and visual analytics. Students will collaborate in small groups on a semester-long visualization project and present their findings through written reports and oral presentations in a conference-style format. Through interactive discussions, peer feedback, and formal design critiques, we will analyze both published visualization research and each other's work.
Course Notes
This course is designed for Ph.D. students from any discipline. Master's students and advanced undergraduates are also welcome, particularly those planning to write a thesis or pursue doctoral studies in human-computer interaction (HCI) or data visualization. In recent years, several students have published their course projects in top-tier academic venues. This course was previously numbered CS 271.
