Big Data Mapping: Modern Tools for Geographic Analysis and Visualization

BIDS Data Science Lecture Series | February 13, 2015 | 1:00-2:30 p.m. | 190 Doe Library, UC Berkeley Speaker: Erez Cohen, Co-Founder and CEO, Mapsense Sponsors: Berkeley Institute for Data Science, Data, Society and Inference Seminar We'll discuss how smart spatial indexes can be used for performant search and filtering for generating interactive and dynamic maps in the browser over massive datasets. We'll go over vector maps, quadtree indices, geographic simplification, density sampling, and real-time ingestion. We'll use example datasets featuring real-time maps of tweets, California condors, and crimes in San Francisco.
