In Joyful Infographics: A Friendly, Human Approach to Data, one of the leading graphic designers of recent times shows how a judicious use of humor can make infographics more understandable. Written in non-academic, easy-to-understand language, and with historical and contemporary visual examples presented throughout, this small book provides a short history of light-hearted graphics. The text outlines nine clear ways to make graphics more understandable, explores the importance of the audience, shows you how to make information come alive during presentations through live-action ‘performance’ graphics, discusses why joy and smiling are good for you, and shows you how not to overdo it. The author website, featuring enlargeable graphics, can be found here: https://www.joyfulinfographics.com/. Even if a subject is delicate, controversial, or taboo, being graphically friendly to the audience is the right way to explain it. It is the opposite of being clinically cold and just presenting the facts. If you can get readers to smile--the smile of recognition when they understand the graphic--you are more than halfway toward getting them to continue reading, and understanding, the intention of the piece. Joyful Infographics teaches you how to do just that.

This thesis examines the impact of emotion-driven strategies on multimedia learning among highly educated individuals. Three of Nigel Holmes' criteria for creating joyful infographics- drawings, visual prosody and human presence- are tested for their ability to support learning. Through a comparative study in the form of online surveys, the thesis investigates and measures the difference in retention and transfer performances between participants from treatment and control groups. The results show that the three features positively impacted transfer performances but had no observable impact on retention performances. Other observations included that the presence of faces itself directly and positively impacted transfer performances. A positive but indirect impact was also noticeable from the combination of the three features as they encouraged engagement with information beyond the infographic's visual aid but with the text information provided by the infographic.

We are living in the Golden Age of Data Visualization. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how we increasingly use data visualizations to make sense of the world. Business analysts fill their presentations with charts, journalists use infographics to engage their readers, we rely on the dials and gauges on our household appliances, and we use mapping apps on our smartphones to find our way. This book explains how and why this has happened. It details the evolution of information graphics, the kinds of graphics at the core of data visualization—maps, diagrams, charts, scientific and medical images—from prehistory to the present day. It explains how the cultural context, production and presentation technologies, and data availability have shaped the history of data visualization. It considers the perceptual and cognitive reasons why data visualization is so effective and explores the little-known world of tactile graphics—raised-line drawings used by people who are blind. The book also investigates the way visualization has shaped our modern world. The European Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution relied on maps and technical and scientific drawings, and graphics influence how we think about abstract concepts like time and social connection. This book is written for data visualization researchers and professionals and anyone interested in data visualization and the way we use graphics to understand and think about the world.

This book closes the gap between what people think Excel can do and what they can achieve in the tool. Over the past few years, recognition of the importance of effectively visualizing data has led to an explosion of data analysis and visualization software tools. But for many people, Microsoft Excel continues to be the workhorse for their data visualization needs, not to mention the only tool that many data workers have access to. Although Excel is not a specialist data visualization platform, it does have strong capabilities. The default chart types do not need to be the limit of the tool’s data visualization capabilities, and users can extend its features by understanding some key elements and strategies. Data Visualization in Excel provides a step-by-step guide to creating more advanced and often more effective data visualizations in Excel and is the perfect guide for anyone who wants to create better, more effective, and more engaging data visualizations.

This textbook covers the concepts, theories, and implementations of text mining and natural language processing (NLP). It covers both the theory and the practical implementation, and every concept is explained with simple and easy-to-understand examples. It consists of three parts. In Part 1 which consists of three chapters details about basic concepts and applications of text mining are provided, including eg sentiment analysis and opinion mining. It builds a strong foundation for the reader in order to understand the remaining parts. In the five chapters of Part 2, all the core concepts of text analytics like feature engineering, text classification, text clustering, text summarization, topic mapping, and text visualization are covered. Finally, in Part 3 there are three chapters covering deep-learning-based text mining, which is the dominating method applied to practically all text mining tasks nowadays. Various deep learning approaches to text mining are covered, including models for processing and parsing text, for lexical analysis, and for machine translation. All three parts include large parts of Python code that shows the implementation of the described concepts and approaches. The textbook was specifically written to enable the teaching of both basic and advanced concepts from one single book. The implementation of every text mining task is carefully explained, based Python as the programming language and Spacy and NLTK as Natural Language Processing libraries. The book is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and engineering.
