Previous Episode
167 | Visualization and Statistics with Andrew Gelman and Jessica Hullman
In this new episode, we talk about the interplay between statistics and data visualization. We do that with Andrew Gelman, Professor of Statistics and Political Science at Columbia University, and Jessica Hullman, Professor of Computer Science at Northwestern University. Andrew started the popular blog “Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science,” which has an active community of readers and has been around for many years. Jessica started contributing lately with many exciting posts, several of which have to do with data visualization. In the episode, we touch upon many topics, including the story behind the blog, the role of surprises, anomalies, and storytelling in science, the Anscombe’s quartet, and exploratory data analysis.

169 | Data Conversations with Vidya Setlur
We have Vidya Setlur on the show to talk about the role language, and natural language processing (NLP) play in data visualization and analytics.
Vidya is the director of research at Tableau and has a background in natural language processing and visualization. She is one of the main drivers behind Eviza, a research-based prototype and the corresponding product Ask Data, developed within Tableau to interact with data visualizations through natural language.
She is also the co-author, with Bridget Cogley, of Functional Aesthetics for Data Visualization, a new book on data visualization with a lot of information about semantics and language in data visualization.
In the episode, we talk about the challenges of going from a research prototype to an actual product, research vs. engineering, speech and natural language interfaces, the many ways language plays a role in visualization, the advent of language models, and much more.
Enjoy the show!

Data Stories - 168 | Highlights from IEEE VIS'22 with Tamara Munzner
Transcript
Oklahoma University has this astounding history of science program and these archives. There was this part where he went into the climate controlled archives and brought out the books and there was this room full of books where we had to like, of course not touch, but look at these amazing source materials. Hi, everyone. Music. Welcome to a new episode of Data Stories. My name is Enrico Bertini and I am a professor at Northeastern University in Boston whe
