A talk is given by<br>
<br>
Professor Min Chen<br>
University of Oxford<br>
<br>
and is entitled<br>
<br>
"Information Theory in Visualization: An Excursion or a
Voyage?".<br>
<br>
Abstract:<br>
<br>
Information theory wandered into the field of visualization more
than a<br>
decade ago. It has been used to measure information content in
data and<br>
visualization, and to explain phenomena in visualization
processes. In this<br>
talk, the speaker will trace the journey of major applications
of<br>
information theory in visualization, including the latest work
on measuring<br>
the benefit of visualization. The speaker will make an argument
that the<br>
field of visualization can provide information theory with lines
of passage<br>
to cognitive sciences. At the same time, information theory may
bring<br>
statistics, algorithms, visualization, and interaction together
under a<br>
common theoretic framework.<br>
