Data UX By the Bay
Data is at the core of modern applications. The rise of data science and machine-learning makes it imperative to identify patterns and consider how it might impact the end user. It's not enough to just visualize the data, it's important to act on it with deep empathy. In lieu of open source code that’s idiomatic to the By the Bay conferences, UX by the Bay instead shares the latest ideas and strategy to positively impact the user’s experience with data.
Please see the umbrella Data By the Bay description of what makes a good talk By the Bay.
- Visualizing massive datasets
- UX for data products -- ML/AI-enabled applications making decisions based on data
- UX for anomaly detection -- both seeing it and acting on it
- UX for data products based on algorithms such as Deep Learning
- And more!
Last year, we started with a two-day, three-track, 50-talk conference. We've put together an inspiring program centered around language, Big Data, text and images, deep learning, UI, social networks, and much more.
This year, we're running the first data grid conference sequence with with seven verticals over five days. Each day's attendance is limited to only 400 seats and it will be full. We hope you join us in May By the Bay!

Data UX By the Bay
May 20, 2016 (Parallel with Life Sciences By the Bay)
Data should be visualized, with massive datasets distilled into clear and actionable display calling attention to what's really important. And then UX should naturally lead to the appropriate action.
