Mapping Population Growth By Region (1900-2050F)

Mapping Population Growth By Region (1900-2050F) In fewer than 50 years, the world population has doubled in size, jumping from 4 to 8 billion. In this visualization, Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu maps the populations of major regions at three different points in time: 1900, 2000, and 2050 (forecasted). Figures come from Our World in Data as of March 2023, using the United Nations medium-fertility scenario. Population by Continent (1900-2050F) Asia was the biggest driver of global population growth over the course of the 20th century. In fact, the continent’s population grew by 2.8 billion people from 1900 to 2000, compared to just… […]

Breaking down the coolest Data Visualization!

Data Visualizations are the best ways to get a feel for your data. In any data scientist’s or data analyst’s work, they predominantly own the EDA processes and crunch data in a way like no other process does. They go from the most basic bar plots to kernel density estimation plots (don’t bother what they mean) and can decode any patterns, outliers, details, etc. about your data.With software like Tableau, PowerBI, Qlikview, and the capabilities of programming languages like Python and R in terms of Data Visualisation, the possibilities are unimaginable.Before we dive into the article, I want you to… […]

Data Visualization// DataViz, Presenting Symbiotic Relationships between Data, Communicative…

Questioning Data Visualization as a conceptIn it’s essence, Data Visualization is as abrupt and abstract as the word means in layman terms. Visualizing massive amounts of raw or processed //filtered data. But Data Visualization // DataViz is as useful as to correctly pronounce the word croissant to a non-french speaking person, it could sound horribly wrong, at best sounding comical but if you mispronounce the word in some parts of the world it could mean a catastrophe to your initial social interactions and might consequently affect your confidence afterwards.After forgiving the absurd sense of rhetorical humor the situation basically suggest… […]

Évolution : la plupart des arbres du vivant serait erronée, révèle une étude

L’ évolution des êtres vivants sur Terre pourrait être bien différente de ce que l’on apprend dans les bouquins de biologie. C’est du moins ce qu’avance une étude réalisée par le Milner Center for Évolution de l’Université de Bath (Royaume-Uni). Selon ces chercheurs, l’erreur a été de classer les animaux selon leurs ressemblances physiques. Pour eux, il faudrait plutôt les regrouper selon leur génétique. Un critère de classification devenu possible avec le développement des technologies de séquençage génétique. En observant les similarités génétiques, on se rend compte que certaines espèces qu’on pensait liées appartiennent en fait à des banches complètement… […]

Datavisualisation et UX : quand la dataviz rencontre l’UX Design !

Image à la une : Alien Pixels – Dribbble Nous avons déjà tous passé des heures à analyser des données à partir de tableaux Excel interminables et complexes. La data visualisation (ou « dataviz » pour les initiés) est une réponse pour donner aux informations qui nous entourent une forme plus compréhensible et familière. En utilisant les outils que sont la couleur, le contraste, l’allégorie… ; elle nous rend la donnée accessible et lui donne une force émotionnelle. Elle est donc d’une grande aide pour la création d’interfaces ; les rendant lisibles, créatives et originales. Mais pour ce faire, une… […]

Introducing “views” on Quabbly

When managing workflow processes, it is important for you to use data visualization tools to analyze the massive amounts of information you receive to enable you to make data-driven decisions. A pivotal aspect of data visualization is using graphics, plots, and other tools to make information easy to understand and communicate.According to Inc.com, approximately 65 percent of the world’s population are visual learners, hence the likelihood of having a decent amount of them in your organization is high. Visual learners are often called spatial learners and, unsurprisingly, learn and remember best through visual communication.Thereore, visual presentation of data and information… […]

Visualizations show the extensive cloud of debris Russia’s anti-satellite test created

A screengrab of a visualization, created by Hugh Lewis Satellite trackers have been working overtime to figure out just how much dangerous debris Russia created when it destroyed one of its own satellites early Monday — and the picture they’ve painted looks bleak. Multiple visual simulations of Russia’s anti-satellite, or ASAT, test show a widespread cloud of debris that will likely menace other objects in orbit for years. Early this week, Russia launched a missile that destroyed the country’s Kosmos 1408 satellite, a large spacecraft that orbited the Earth roughly 300 miles up. The breakup of the satellite created at… […]

The world of data visualization for learners, experts, enthusiasts and lovers

How Data Visualization Drives Better Business Decisions and Outcomes

(ArtHea/Shutterstock) I’ve run software development teams (some with more than 1,000 members) over the past 25 years. The software development discipline has exploded in growth due to the need for technology support across all aspects of business. Despite this growth, the core challenge remains the same: in order to be effective, technical teams need to find ways to make better decisions, faster. Teams need to see and think about their work differently.  Developer teams riff and iterate on code. Iteration is the key because no matter how sure they are of what they are building, they inevitably have to change… […]

Data Vis Dispatch, October 12

The best of last week’s big and small data visualizations Welcome back to the 17th edition of Data Vis Dispatch! Every week, we’ll be publishing a collection of the best small and large data visualizations we find, especially from news organizations — to celebrate data journalism, data visualization, simple charts, elaborate maps, and their creators.Recurring topics this week include the oil spill off the coast of California, methane as a cause for climate change, the volcano eruption on La Palma, and, of course, the pandemic. First, some Covid-19 visualizations. One of the most-discussed topics this week was the quality of vaccination data. The… […]

One dataset, ten visualizations

One dataset can be represented in multiple ways depending on what you want to focus on: want to showcase evolution over time? A line chart will do the work. Care to emphasize the geographical distribution of the data? Then a map is, most likely, the best choice. The exercise of trying to come up with as many charts as possible is not only fun — that is if you are a data visualization geek like most of us here at Flourish — but also useful to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each chart type in a given situation and… […]

Visualizing the World’s Biggest Pharmaceutical Companies

Some of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companies have played a central role in the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it’s likely no surprise that the pandemic has also been great for many healthcare businesses. In fact, in 2020 alone, the world’s 50 largest pharmaceutical companies still combined for a whopping $851 billion in revenues. In this graphic, using data from Companies Market Cap, we list the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world by market capitalization. It’s worth noting this list also includes healthcare companies that work closely with pharmaceuticals, including biotech, pharmaceutical retailers, clinical laboratories, etc. Editor’s Note: A previous version of… […]

Search engines shape such “information borders” by tailoring results according to geolocation, language, and other user profiling. We present Search Atlas, a tool paired with visualizations that enable users to see and cross these borders. For instance, how do search results for the same query differ for Brazilian, Turkish, and Indian users? Given a query, the tool… […]

Integrating Unstructured Data Sources into an Enterprise-Scale Knowledge Graph

Because much of the information stored in modern enterprise data ecosystems comes in the form of textual data, an enterprise-scale knowledge graph platform must be able to integrate large collections of this unstructured data. Knowledge graphs need to surface facts from these sources, connecting them to and analyzing them alongside more structured data, such as relational databases, data lakes or APIs.  This blog showcases one example of a production customer using Cambridge Semantics’ knowledge graph platform, Anzo, to do exactly this.  Anzo treats unstructured data as a first-class citizen in the knowledge graph. Anzo onboards unstructured data — sources that… […]

The human brain is capable of incredible things, but it’s also extremely flawed at times. Science has shown that we tend to make all sorts of mental mistakes, called “cognitive biases”, that can affect both our thinking and actions. These biases can lead to us extrapolating information from the wrong sources, seeking to confirm existing beliefs, or failing to remember events the way they actually happened! To be sure, this is all part of… […]
