Don’t Look. See! Are We Blinded by Data (Visualization)? | Fanny Chevalier | WiDS 2020

Fanny Chevalier, Assistant Professor at University of Toronto delivers a Technical Vision Talk at WiDS Stanford University on March 2, 2020:

We are constantly required to make decisions about the world we live in. But are we good judges of how things work and what is best to do in each situation? Dr. Chevalier’s talk will explore why we may not always make well-informed decisions, even with best intentions, and even when our motivations are driven by careful examination of data. She will challenge the ways we leverage data for analysis and communication, and propose strategies that embrace the imperfect, subjective nature of human’s perception.
