===Description===
Visual analytics is the science of analytical reasoning supported by
interactive visual interfaces. Today, data is produced at an incredible
rate and the ability to collect and store the data is increasing at a
faster rate than the ability to analyze it. Over the last decades, a
large number of automatic data analysis methods have been developed.
However, the complex nature of many problems makes it indispensable to
include human intelligence at an early stage in the data analysis
process. Visual Analytics methods allow decision makers to combine their
human ﬂexibility, creativity, and background knowledge with the enormous
storage and processing capacities of today’s computers to gain insight
into complex problems. Using advanced visual interfaces, humans may
directly interact with the data analysis capabilities of today’s
computer, allowing them to make well-informed decisions in complex
situations. During this course different methods will be overviewed
mostly from law enforcement , intelligence, military and cyber defense
point of view. We look at the history of visual analytics and see what
methods we have available this day. Also during this course we would
have practical task to get the better understanding of matter.
