Abstract
"Research Seminar: Big Data - Principles and Paradigms": This seminar explores the evolving landscape of Big Data, focusing on its principles and paradigms. We will examine current trends in data analytics, particularly in the context of business analytics, and how these paradigms are transforming decision-making processes. The course will cover topics such as emotional data visualization, efficient data compression techniques for scientific visualization, and innovative approaches to visualizing complex data structures. Through this seminar, participants will gain insights into the latest advancements in data visualization and learn how to apply these techniques to enhance business strategies.
