In the face of surging data in the era of big data, how to analyze data intuitively and efficiently, gain insight into subtleties, and make decisions thousands of miles away has become the key to grasping opportunities. Visualization and visual analysis technology can effectively combine human cognitive ability and machine computing ability, and are the bridge and link between users and data.

In the course, you will understand the basic principles, key technologies and methodological tools of visualization and visual analysis, understand the latest research progress in the field of visualization, and have the opportunity to try open visualization tasks and design visual analysis solutions for target data. and implement it.

The course is comprehensively examined based on course design results and classroom participation. The course is aimed at graduate students of all majors who are interested in the research and application of visual chemistry, and who are willing to learn basic visual programming and use visual tools.

Course number : 04804013 (3 credits)
Class time : 10-12 classes every Wednesday

Course targets

Courses are taught using a learning paradigm that emphasizes communication, initiative, and creativity. Through this course, you will discuss and communicate with students from different professional backgrounds, experience the collision of thinking from different perspectives, and complete visualization works together with team members in the course design project. This course will improve your ability to study and research, and develop the thinking and ability to actively explore open-ended visualization tasks through active discussions and exchanges in the classroom.

Inspection method

This course will be evaluated based on a combination of course participation, daily homework, thesis reading, and course design results. Students who actively participate in discussions and have innovative ideas will be rewarded with grades. The course is designed for groups to work together to complete visual works and make a defense report.

Teaching object

We are open to graduate students of all majors who are interested in the research and application of visual chemistry, have a certain programming foundation or can flexibly use visualization tools, regardless of major or department background.
