Visual Analytics - Definitions Visual analytics is the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces. [Thomas and Cook, 2006] Visual analytics is more than just visualization and can rather be seen as an integrated approach combining visualization, human factors and data analysis. [Keim, 2005] Ziel ist es [ ], die Leistungsfähigkeiten moderner Computer und Algorithmen mit den enormen Leistungsfähigkeiten des menschlichen visuellen Systems zu verbinden, um eine umfassende Analyse komplexer Datenmengen zu unterstützen, unbekannte in den Daten verborgene Muster aufzudecken und Trends abzuleiten. [Schumann, 2007]
Visual Analytics vs. Visual Data Mining Während z.b. beim visuellen Data Mining Methoden des Data Mining aus der Statistik oder dem Knowledge Discovery mit Methoden aus der Informationsvisualisierung verbunden werden, gibt es bei Visual Analytics konzeptionell nicht diese Einschränkung auf bestimmte Verfahrens- und Datenklassen. Zu Visual Analytics gehören beispielsweise auch Methoden des visuellen Graph Mining oder des Image Mining zur automatischen und visuellen Auswertung von Netzwerken und Bilddaten. [Schumann, 2007]

Visual Analytics Multiple Disciplines People use visual analytics tools and techniques to synthesize information and derive insight from massive, dynamic, ambiguous, and often conflicting data; detect the expected and discover the unexpected; provide timely, defensible, and understandable assessments; and communicate assessment effectively for action.

Information Visualization vs. Visual Analytics Visual Information-Seeking Mantra [Shneiderman,1996] Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand. Visual Analytics Mantra [Keim, 2005] Analyse First - Show the Important - Zoom, Filter and Analyse Further - Details on Demand
