Foresight: Recommending Visual Insights

Understand

Current tools for exploratory data analysis (EDA) require users to manually select data attributes, statistical computations and visual encodings.

• This can be daunting for large-scale, complex data.
• We introduce Foresight, a system that helps the user rapidly discover visual insights from large high-dimensional datasets.
• Formally, an "insight" is a strong manifestation of a statistical property of the data, e.g., high correlation between two attributes, high skewness or concentration about the mean of a single attribute, a strong clustering of values, and so on.
