TechLunch #11: Data Visualization

The April edition of TechLunch will be about Data Visualization. A picture is worth a thousand words, and data visualization makes understanding complex data easier. Or does it? Is a graph with many entries and color really easier to understand than a plain table?

Our 3 speakers will be:

• Benoît Lucet (https://twitter.com/benoitlucet) (Dataveyes (http://dataveyes.com/#!/en)) What makes data visualization so effective? Studying perception through user research.

• So (https://twitter.com/hachichaud)phie Despeisse (https://twitter.com/hachichaud) (Toucan Toco (https://toucantoco.com/en/)) Dataviz: Dos & Don'ts

• (https://twitter.com/fbouteruche)Martin Daniel (https://twitter.com/martindaniel4)(Airbnb (https://www.airbnb.com)) - This talk will go over tools and techniques that the Data Science team is using to scale knowledge and the ability to make data-driven decisions at Airbnb.

We will have three talks of 15mn each (with a 5mn break for questions in between), followed by a more casual networking time.

Note that this event is scheduled during lunch. We will have food for all the registered persons, but try not to be late so we do not waste.

Entrance will be at the corner of Rue St-Martin and Rue Pernelle, 4th floor.

Talks will be in English, recorded and published on YouTube afterwards.
