授業の概要 /Course outline |
Visualization and data storytelling is absolutely essential in today’s business. If raw data can’t be turned into compelling information, companies will be unable to devise a strategy for better corporate performance. The MIT Sloan School of Management described data storytelling as "the ability to convey data not just in numbers or charts but as a narrative that humans can comprehend." Sloan also said, "As with any good story, a data tale needs a beginning, a middle, an end, and some actionable insights. Data scientists aren't always up to the job". Reference: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/why-data-storytelling-in-business-matters-more-than-ever/ In this course, we will discuss how data storytelling is a methodology for communicating information, tailored to a specific audience, with a compelling narrative. Data storytelling ideally merges three key fields of expertise: Data science: This field of expertise is the interdisciplinary field of sciences, which extracts knowledge and insight from data, making it readily available. Visualizations: Transforming data into graphs, pie, and line charts meant we could see our data like never before, however, data visualizations alone have limitations. They provided at-a-glance snapshots of data, lacking the context needed to explain why something has happened. Storytelling: Data scientists are often skilled at collecting and delivering data, but lack the skills to relay a true understanding of the opportunities hidden in the data delivered. As part of this course, we will focus on understanding how data science is now one of the most demanding areas of study in computer science, what it takes to become a good data scientist, the power of data visualization, and how to deliver compelling data storytelling for efficient project management, and how it could be converted into actionable strategies for companies. |

(C)Graduates are able to determine and carry out the actions they and others, including those from other disciplines, should take and plan and manage work under given constraints in collaborative projects. We will look forward to achieving multiple goals during the semester. Develop a comprehensive understanding of the field of data science Develop different visualization techniques depending on the scope of the data Understanding machine and deep learning and the contribution to data science Understanding design thinking and the contribution to data science The difference between data visualization and data storytelling Develop speaking ability to explain specific graph types, decoding, and preparing a compelling story from the visual presentation. Develop technical writing skills when explaining data for business purposes |
