Researchers have developed a new method -- 'Pixel Approximate Entropy' -- that measures the complexity of a data visualization and can be used to develop easier to read visualizations. 'In fast-paced ...

It offers four tabs under Visualize that include Chart type, Refine, Annotate, and Layout. The last one lets you view your chart through different color-vision-deficiency filters, with automatic dark ...

The principle goal is to develop robust methods that address the problem of reverse engineering data in charts in scientific documents to enable access to the underlying quantitative information not ...

Data science is continuing its positive trend at Northwestern, with the Department of Statistics launching a new data science major next fall. The department will also build on its data science minor ...

Google's new Android app can record and measure your environment and then helps you turn data into graphs. The app, called Science Journal, is meant to "bring out the inner scientist in all of us" and ...

The last decade has seen an explosion of data generation from individuals, businesses and institutions worldwide. As these organizations increasingly rely on data-driven decision-making, the demand ...

'Pixel Approximate Entropy' technique quantifies visual complexity by providing a score that automatically identifies difficult charts; could help users in emergency settings to read data at a glance ...
