Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Despite exploratory data analysis (EDA) is a powerful approach for uncovering insights from unfamiliar datasets, existing EDA tools face challenges in assisting users to assess the progress of exploration and synthesize coherent insights from isolated findings. To address these challenges, we present FactExplorer, a novel fact-based EDA system that shifts the analysis focus from raw data to data facts. FactExplorer employs a hybrid logical-visual representation, providing users with a comprehensive overview of all potential facts at the outset of their exploration. Moreover, FactExplorer introduces fact-mining techniques, including topic-based drill-down and transition path search capabilities. These features facilitate in-depth analysis of facts and enhance the understanding of interconnections between specific facts. Finally, we present a usage scenario and conduct a user study to assess the effectiveness of FactExplorer. The results indicate that FactExplorer facilitates the understanding of isolated findings and enables users to steer a thorough and effective EDA.
