When he mapped this data\, he was able to discover where flu outbreaks would strike up to two weeks before tra ditional news sources were able to report them. http://www.google.org/fl utrends/ \;\n \;\nThis is an example of a time when merging a spec ific type of data to its geographical coordinates resulted in a unique i nsight. However\, there is much more to do with data and visualization. What was found at Google is only the tip of a very large iceberg. Now th at we have access to so much data on the web\, we're going to see an inc reasing need to understand and present that data. \;\n \;\nAgenda : \;\nThis meetup will serve as an introduction to what's going on in the world of data viz. It will be freeform\, so if you would like to de monstrate something you're working on\, please be prepared to do so. Mic ah Elliott will be showing uGraph and Ed Borasky will do a GGobi demo. I 'll be covering what already exists in the ecosystem and what might beco me useful in the future. We're dealing with a rapid communication method here. Something that\, if done well\, compresses the time and space it takes for us to understand something. \;\n \;\nIf you're interest ed in Data Visualization\, please come to this event. It will be the fir st Portland Tech Event at WebTrends besides Web Analytics Wednesday. It' s our chance to try out the space and see if it is a good fit for this g roup or potentially for other groups in the future. \;\n \;\nGoog le Group: \;\nEd Borasky recently started a Google group called pdx- visualization. As the name implies\, it is a group for Portland-area peo ple interested in languages and techniques for visualization of data. ht tp://groups.google.com/group/pdx-visualization \;\n \;\n------ \;\n \;\nAmber Case\, @caseorganic is a Cyborg Anthropologist studyin g the interaction between humans and computers and how our relationship with information is changing the way we think\, act\, and understand the world around us. \;\n\n\nTags: data visualization\, technology\, po rtland tech\, trending\, analytics\, analysis\n\nImported from: http://c alagator.org/events/1250456781 URL:http://groups.google.com/group/pdx-visualization SUMMARY:Portland Data Visualization Group LOCATION:Webtrends: 851 SW 6th Ave.\, Suite 1600\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090324T211525Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090328T150000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090328T110000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090324T211525Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090324T231356Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250456875 DESCRIPTION:R\, also called GNU S\, is a strongly functional language and environment to statistically explore data sets and make many graphical displays of data. \;\n \;\nR is widely used for statistical softw are development and data analysis.

If you ask the question\, "\;Who's hungry?"\;: \;\n \;\nThe answer is kids. \;\n \;\n The data is clear\, but the reality is hard. We've made a dyn amic program to explore systemic causes of hunger at home by placing a s pecial focus on resources available to families with young children incl uding regional cost of living\, state benefit programs\, and inequalitie s local schools districts. \;\n \;\n \;\n"\;Behind the Curt ain” \;\nCampaign Finance \;\n \;\nWe're lifting the veil off e lection politics with a fascinating high-level view of influence and mon ey in Oregon's election cycles. \;\n \;\nHack Oregon has the only machine readable database for local campaign finance in the country\, an d we've learned that influence is as much about relationships as it abou t dollars. And at the local level\, your vote matters \;\nA LOT. \;\n \;\nThis year\, we've added new meta-data to reveal effects of industry buy-in and individual patronage during an election cycle... with a few surprises. Unlock the real story behind politics and feel ul tra-empowered as a voter this November. \;\n \;\n“Plot PDX” \; \nUrban Development \;\n \;\nData can tell us a lot about our neig hborhoods. At a time when Portland is experiencing rapid growth and chan ge\, it's more important than ever that all communities have equal acces s to information that can inform decisions about the future of our city. \;\n \;\nWe're giving the community access to a range of data whi ch has never been available on one platform. Explore Portland's neighbo rhoods as you've never seen them before\, on topics that you care about\ , like demolitions\, crime\, and the rising cost of rent. \;\n \; \n“Crop Compass"\; \;\nAgriculture \;\n \;\n In the Pacific Northwest\, we live in one of the most rich biospheres in the world\, w ith global demand for Oregon grown products. We have the ability to prod uce a wide range of food in Oregon\, but we're far from self-sustaining. \;\n \;\nHow much of our regional vitality is retained inside of Oregon\, and how much do we ship out? How do our economic and environmen tal factors work together to shape our food system? We've created a too l that gives insight into multi-dimensional patterns across land use\, c rop diversity\, subsidies\, seasonality\, and import/export trends to h elp understand more about the mechanics of how food gets from farm to ta ble. \;\n \;\n"\;Programming to Progress"\; \;\nEducati on \;\n \;\nAcross Oregon\, some schools are lucky enough to have free or low-cost summer school programming and/or after school programmi ng--- and the playing field is not level. \;\n \;\n How much of a difference does after school and summer school programming make for earl y literacy\, attendance\, and future academic success of students?

There is just too much information out there and traditional reports usi ng tabs\, rows and columns do not paint the whole picture any longer. 3\;\n \;\nVisualization is one key approach to gaining insight from t his mountain of data. Advanced Visualizations Platforms have enabled the use of more dynamic and interactive business graphics\, such as real-ti me dashboards and charts that update automatically as the data changes. It enables knowledge workers to see the trends and patterns (along with gaps and outliers) in the data that are not as easily identified in rows and columns of numbers. Even Data Scientists are leveraging advanced vi sualizations tools to explore\, understand and communicate insights\, al ong with the actions that need to be taken. \;\n \;\nIn this sessi on\, we will explore how advanced visualization tools are being utilized in the era of big data to draw valuable business insights and we will a lso delve into some of the predominant data visualization tools being us ed by Data Scientists. \;\n \;\nSpeaker \;\nAmit P.

However\, creating these systems requires us to reverse engineer some of the most fundamen tal aspects of life\, which can be difficult and overwhelming — especial ly if you don’t know where to start.   Designing Intelligence will: • He lp the you understand what’s happening in the artificial intelligence sp ace and where it’s been. • Explain why you’ll be making one of these sys tems sooner than you think. • Teach you how to create the products that will thrive in the age of automation. • Give you language to help you se ll your ideas to your team and bring your dreams to life. This is one ta lk you’ll regret missing. Guest Speaker Joe Toscano will be presenting -  @realjoet. Formerly an Experience Designer for R/GA\, Joe worked as a c onsultant for Google\, where he and his team oversaw the Google product ecosystem and helped Google take products to market. This meant he and h is team had to understand how each product strategically fit within the Google ecosystem now\, how each product would evolve\, over time\, and h ow the decisions being made by individual teams would affect Google’s la rger business goals\, as a whole. Understanding this allowed him and his team to be confident that the decisions they were making would strategi cally move Google’s business forward. Joe has since left his job at R/GA to pursue writing his book\, Designing Intelligence. The book is being written to help people understand the current state of automation\, wher e it's been and where it's going\, how to design products that will thri ve in the age of automation\, and what role we\, as technical talent\, p lay in creating an inclusive future through automation. He hopes to help create ethical automation designers who not only understand best practi ces of making these systems but also understand the impact they'll be ma king on the world\, through automation.
