InfraVis, a National Research Infrastructure For Data Visualization
April 16, 2024 @ 12:15 – 13:00 CEST
In the frame of the “SciLifeLab Site Umeå / KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series”, the seminars will be organised every second Tuesday during spring 2024. The seminars will be held in a hybrid format – IRL in Glasburen, KBC, Umeå, and online via Zoom. Learn more about the seminar series and Schedule for Spring 2024 here.
On 16 April, at 12:15, SciLifeLab Site Umeå / KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series presents:
InfraVis, a National Research Infrastructure For Data Visualization
Speakers:
Karin Danielsson, Associate Professor at the Department of Informatics, Director of Humlab at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and a member of InfraVis Steering Committee
Evelina Liliequist, Associate Professor at Humlab, researcher at Centre for Regional Science at Umeå University, and the node coordinator for UmU/Humlab in InfraVis
Description: The seminar will be a presentation of InfraVis, a National Research Infrastructure For Data Visualization funded by VR. InfraVis aims to significantly improve data analysis support, address new challenges involving large and complex data and create competitive advantages for researchers associated with Swedish universities or research institutes.
InfraVis assists individual researchers, research teams and research projects to visualize their research data from any scientific domain. Our definition of the term “visualization” includes all stages of data analysis in the visualization pipeline. Statistics, machine learning, and other tools are a part of the InfraVis arsenal. The data-driven analysis produces results that, through methodical design, have visual representations. These visual representations, when interactive, are visualizations that exploit the extraordinary ability of the human brain to detect, classify, and relate patterns and anomalies visually. InfraVis experts give access to state-of-the-art visualization competence, support, equipment, training, and methods.
We aim for more researchers at UmU to take advantage of the support InfraVis can bring. During the seminar we will explain further the possibilities with the infrastructure, visualization expertise available, and present some examples of InfraVis visualizations.
