Description: TOPIC: Using Visualization and Provenance for Data Exploration
ABSTRACT: The mountains of data being gathered and generated each day have brought about many opportunities to discover and test new ideas. Algorithms help users summarize and filter this data, but insight often requires users to explore intermediate results and modify computations during their analyses. Visualization techniques provide intuitive and interactive methods for examining data, helping to speed the time to insight. At the same time, keeping track of all of the computations and explorations places a burden on users. Automated methods that transparently capture provenance---the record of how each result was achieved---allow users greater freedom to investigate data without worrying about manually recording their progress. In this talk, I will present efficient methods to explore and visualize data, and discuss how provenance can be utilized to integrate knowledge from past investigations.
