In this talk, the speaker will describe the applications of information theory to visualization and demonstrate how information theory can explain numerous phenomena in visualization. In particular, the speaker will discuss an information-theoretic metric for analysing the cost-benefit of data intelligence workflows, elaborating the values of visualization in such workflows. The speaker will also outline conjectures that the metric may potentially have implications beyond data science.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oerc.ox.ac.uk\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/person\/public\/people\/MinChen300x300.jpg?itok=k7_tGhMg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Short Bio:\u00a0<\/strong>Min Chen developed his academic career in Wales between 1984 and 2011. He is currently the professor of scientific visualization at Oxford University and a fellow of Pembroke College.
