Speaker(s):
Finding hidden relationships is the key to unlocking insights. Traditional charts and graphs fall short when visualizing complex, interconnected data. This presentation will describe into the world of graph visualization, a powerful technique for unveiling hidden patterns, dependencies, and anomalies in your data.
We will explore:
- Graph Fundamentals: An introduction to graph theory concepts, including nodes, edges, and different types of graphs, providing a foundation for understanding graph visualization.
- Open-Source Graph Visualization Tools: A showcase of popular open-source libraries and tools like NetworkX, PyVis, and Gephi, demonstrating their capabilities for creating interactive and informative graph visualizations.
- Use Cases: Real-world applications of graph visualization across various domains, such as social network analysis, fraud detection, recommendation systems, and knowledge graphs. We’ll delve into specific examples and case studies to highlight the versatility and impact of this approach.
- Best Practices and Design Principles: Guidelines for designing effective graph visualizations that are both aesthetically pleasing and informative. We’ll discuss topics like layout algorithms, node and edge styling, interaction design, and scalability considerations.
- (if time allows) Hands-On Demonstration: A live demonstration of building a graph visualization using an open-source tool, showcasing the step-by-step process and highlighting key features.
