Abstract: How data visualization serves to augment intelligence–human and machine alike. First, visualization can effectively make people smarter about data, boosting their individual and collective ability to process and understand complex information. Second, as machine learning becomes increasingly important, visualization can play a critical role in helping humans understand, build, and control systems based on machine intelligence. Will discuss a series of examples drawn from the worlds of business, computer science, and even art that illustrate both of these aspects.
