What is Visual Analytics?!Visual analytics is…!!the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces. !
Using technology for human analysis & decision-making!Explore and synthesize information
and derive insight from massive, dynamic, ambiguous and often conflicting data.!
Provide timely, defensible and understandable assessments.!
Communicate assessments effectively for action.!
What is Visual Analytics?!Visual analytics is…!!the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces. !
Using technology for human analysis & decision-making!draws upon traditional research areas including !– data/text mining, !– visualization, !– human computer interface, !– machine learning!– …!
• The Vancouver Ins4tute for Visual Analy4cs (VIVA) is: • a joint SFU/UBC research Ins4tute dedicated to developing a network of resources for Visual Analy4cs to
• orient, • promote, • facilitate, • and broker
research, educa4on and training in Visual Analy4cs
• VIVA leverages the cri4cal mass of VA research pioneers at those two universi4es to create a network for Visual Analy4cs in Canada.
What is VIVA?!

• VIVA operates from Vancouver working locally, na4onally and now interna4onally.
• VIVA is currently leading the crea4on of the Canadian Network for Visual Analy4cs, a not-‐for-‐profit organiza4on • uni4ng all Visual Analy4cs research organiza4ons in Canada • Working with government agencies and industry partners
• crea4on of consor4a of companies built around industry sectors that include aerospace, safety, security, health, medical, finance, new media…
• VIVA is involved with ini4a4ves in Visual Analy4cs around the world, notably in the U.S., the E.U. and now Brazil.

VA Case Study – Bird Strikes!Using visual analytics on FAA Wildlife Incident data, a company researcher and VA Intern developed…!
• safety related design changes!• improvements to pilot training material!
Results presented at major conferences on bird strikes.!
Bird strikes during day, dusk and night.
• VIVA ar4culates itself along three elements cons4tu4ng its mandate: • 1) VA Network: Establish a VA research Networking infrastructure
for research, exper4se and educa4onal programming; • 2) VA Research: Promote, facilitate, orient and where possible
support research in VA, with a focus of applica4on to real-‐world problems encountered by industry and government organiza4ons.
• 3) VA Educa4on and Training: Build a capacity to train VA resources at all levels in the use of VA tools and best prac4ces. – VIVA contributes to training the data scien4sts and analysts needed to
stem the rising 4de of world data.
– VIVA extends the science of VA to Canadian Industry notably through its Andrew Wade VA Challenge (AWVAC) Program.
How?!
© 2012 VIVA
• Educa4on and Training • VA Workshops
• Analyst Workshops • These are aimed at those analysts, managers and subject maXer experts who will use Visual Analy4cs in their work
• IT Workshops • These are aimed at the IT specialists who will support these tools and manage the data feeding them.
• Problem specific workshops • Focus on different sectors
• Summer Schools • Customized Training Packages • On-‐line courses and webinars
Opportunities!

• Evalua4on and Training • Andrew Wade VA Challenge (AWVAC) Program
• Trains students on VA tools and techniques, using real-‐world datasets in a collabora4ve environment • Once they have achieved proficiency in VA tools and techniques, students (under faculty supervision) are available to work with professionals in organiza4ons to address their real world problems, using their actual data sets.
• Throughout a semester, students proficient in various VA tools work together with industry subject maXer experts to find new solu4ons to problems.
• Can lead to internships and careers that benefit students and organiza4ons alike.
Opportunities!
© 2012 VIVA
• Evalua4on and Training • VA Tool Recommenda4on
• A compila4on of recommenda4ons about the pros and cons of the most common VA systems available.
• In conjunc4on with providing free access to various systems on a trial basis, these recommenda4ons can help groups new to VA pick out the systems that best suit their needs.
Opportunities!
