The unprecedented increase in the amount, variety and value of data has been significantly transforming the way that scientific research is carried out and businesses operate. As data sources become increasingly diverse and complex, analysis approaches where the human and the computer operate in collaboration have proven to be an effective approach to derive actionable observations. Interactive visual methods offer novel means to facilitate such a cooperation. This talk will discuss the scope, strengths, and limitations of such methods, and walk you through a number of approaches over applied examples.
