AIG140 - Advanced Data Visualization

Subject Title
Advanced Data Visualization

Subject Description
This course introduces advanced tools and techniques for analyzing, visualizing, and communicating data. Students will explore the fundamental principles and strategies to produce graphs that support the analysis of data and demonstrate patterns, trends, errors and discrepancies. Students will also learn how to combine high velocity data streams for dashboard design. Students will learn and practice document coding, writing reports, conducting data exploration and rationalizing its usage, explaining network architecture, discussing results and defining metrics.

Credit Status
1 Credit

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject the student will be able to:

1. Utilize graphical methods to visualize data, analyze fitted models, and effectively communicate results and conclusions in AI applications.
2. Determine appropriate graphical methods to represent the behavior of explanatory variables in AI models and applications.
3. Evaluate diagnostic and influence plots to assess the suitability of data for a given distribution model in AI applications.
4. Generate two-dimensional graphical representations of contingency tables to identify patterns of association in AI applications.
5. Employ smoothing techniques to fit data into a logistic regression model and develop accurate AI models.
6. Develop animated graphics to visualize and communicate complex AI concepts and models effectively.
7. Optimize statistical and visual components of graphical displays to improve the accuracy and clarity of AI analyses and graphs.
8. Utilize bar graphs, lines, and plots to effectively visualize and communicate data and time-series data in AI applications.
9. Analyze potential correlations between datasets using graphical methods to identify meaningful relationships and inform AI modeling and decision-making processes.

Camera Use and Recordings - Synchronous (Live) Classes
Synchronous (live) classes may be delivered in person, in a Flexible Learning space, or online through a Seneca web conferencing platform such as MS Teams or Zoom. Flexible Learning spaces are equipped with cameras, microphones, monitors and speakers that capture and stream instructor and student interactions, providing an in-person experience for students choosing to study online.

Students joining a live class online may be required to have a working camera in order to participate, or for certain activities (e.g. group work, assessments), and high-speed broadband access (e.g. Cable, DSL) is highly recommended. In the event students encounter circumstances that impact their ability to join the platform with their camera on, they should reach out to the professor to discuss. Live classes may be recorded and made available to students to support access to course content and promote student learning and success.

By attending live classes, students are consenting to the collection and use of their personal information for the purposes of administering the class and associated coursework. To learn more about Seneca's privacy practices, visit Privacy Notice.
