Learning outcomes |
The curricular unit introduces the strategies to explore, interpret and summarise a dataset using visual or textual elements. Considering this, the curricular unit has the following objectives:
• Expose the main problems, concepts and approaches in the field of data visualisation; • Know the typical steps in the production chain of the analysis and visualisation process of a data set; • Study data pre-processing techniques, which facilitate the understanding/visualisation of the data; • Introduce the different types of graphical representations to summarise data. • Introduce the techniques for interpreting the decision process of machine learning models; • Master the techniques necessary to build visual stories through datasets.
