  1. Perspective on Visualizing Social Sciences Remco Chang Charlotte Visualization Center UNC Charlotte

  2. Financial Visual Analysis • UNC Charlotte’s success with Bank of America and financial visual analytics • Fraudulent Wire Transaction Analysis • “Finding a needle in a stack of needles” – Bill Fox • Failure of a blackbox approach • The Art and Science of analysis

  3. Financial Visual Analysis

  4. What is Information Visualization? • A case study of how a visualization application differs from a visual analytical tool…

  5. Geo-Spatial - LIDAR

  6. Geo-Spatial - LIDAR

  7. Geo-Spatial - LIDAR • Identify buildings without permits • It’s a useful application… • but it’s not an analysis tool.

  8. Geo-Spatial - LIDAR

  9. Geo-Spatial - LIDAR

  10. Geo-Spatial - LIDAR Difference Suburban Region City Center

  11. Geo-Spatial – Urban Analysis • DIA presentations mentioned Google Earth’s short coming • Demo of UrbanVis

  12. Geo-Spatial – Urban Analysis • Query-free Exploration • no need to generate n(n-1)/2 plots to find relationships between every two variables • you don’t have to know what you’re looking for… • “Here’s what I’m interested in, there’s where it is” • Combination of data analysis and GIS

  13. Agent-Based Modeling • DARPA sponsored project • Modeling Afghanistan • Using off-the-shelf package (NetLogo) • (show NetLogo image)

  14. Agent-Based Modeling

  15. Agent-Based Modeling

  16. Agent-Based Modeling

  17. Agent-Based Modeling • Details on demand • Juxtaposes different variables for comparison in one glance • Allows for multiple resolutions • A framework for combining different models • Would work great in a collaborative environment such as a multi-touch table

  18. Agent-Based Modeling • Visualization is not an after thought… • Embed analysis and reasoning directly into the visualization

  19. Interactive PCA • Principal Component Analysis (PCA) • Based on identifying Eigenvectors and Eigen values • Most commonly used in finding clusters • Often computed using Matlab or statistical packages • (demo InteractivePCA)

  20. Backup
