In this paper we propose a framework that combines the functionality of data exploration and
automatic presentation systems to create a knowledge-based interactive data exploration …

In the last two decades, interactive visualization and analysis have become a central tool in
data-driven decision making. Concurrently to the contributions in data visualization …

To analyze spatially referenced data, ie data referring to geographical objects or locations,
one should present them on a map. IRIS is a software system that supports exploration of …

We present new techniques for retrieval of data-graphics and a system, SageBook, that
employs these techniques to facilitate the process of visualization design. Design is an …

Exploratory data analysis is a process of sifting through data in search of interesting
information or patterns. Analysts' current tools for exploring data include database …

The design and evaluation of most current information visualization systems descend from
an emphasis on a user's ability to" unpack" the representations of data of interest and …

Although data visualization tools continue to improve, during the data exploration process
many of them require users to manually specify visualization techniques, mappings, and …

We survey work on the different uses of graphical mapping and interaction techniques for
visual data mining of large data sets represented as table data. Basic terminology related to …

New sets of powerful data visualization tools have appeared in the marketplace and in the
research community. This, combined with readily available computer memory, speed, and …

It remains challenging for information visualization novices to rapidly construct visualizations
during exploratory data analysis. We conducted an exploratory laboratory study in which …
