The Visual Insights team at Twitter has published some pretty spectacular images today which depict Europe, as well as a number of iconic cities including New York, Tokyo and Istanbul, using nothing more than the locations of geotagged Tweets. The images here incorporate every geolocated Tweet sent since 2009 – “billions” of Tweets, according to Twitter – with every dot representing a post and the intensity of the color showing the total Tweet count.

What’s so impressive is that with all of this context stripped away, the images just look like normal, incredibly accurate maps of the world. Teens on Facebook: What They Share with Friends.

To calculate compensation ratios, Bloomberg used the most recent chief executive officer pay figure reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission as of noon on March 26.

Only fiscal years ending in 2011 and 2012 were considered. Because most companies don't disclose average worker pay, the CEO compensation was divided by an estimate of industry-specific rank-and-file employee compensation calculated from government data. The methodology is based on one developed by the nonprofit Economic Policy Institute for a 2012 study that focused on aggregate trends, not company-specific findings. Workers' salaries for 2011 and 2012 were determined from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' database of average hourly pay for production and nonsupervisory employees by industry, which is based on the agency's Current Employment Statistics survey.

Au programme du séminaire de recherche en Digital Humanities “DHLausanne” de ce 25 janvier, une présentation centrée sur les réflexions d’Andreas Perret, chercheur qui aime à se présenter comme ayant « un pied dans les arts graphiques et un pied dans les sciences sociales », en clair « un décorateur de statistique ». La suite nous montrera que cette définition est bien réductrice puisqu’il s’agit ici d’étudier les modalités d’expression des scientifiques (en se limitant ici à la sociologie) en matière de visualisation de données, tout sauf une simple « décoration » !

Esthétique et science, un désamour ? D’emblée, on constate que dès que l’on met le doigt dans l’engrenage des aspects esthétiques, on se dirige vers des controverses, dans le milieu académique du moins.
