Recording Reusable and Guided Analytics From Interaction Histories
This addresses a domain-specific issue for analysts using visual analytics tools, but it is incremental as it builds on existing interaction logging methods.
The paper tackles the problem of users struggling to share knowledge from visual analytics due to unclear exploration paths, by introducing a tool that records reusable and guided analytics from interaction logs, enabling formalized analysis strategies and systematic workflows.
The use of visual analytics tools has gained popularity in various domains, helping users discover meaningful information from complex and large data sets. Users often face difficulty in disseminating the knowledge discovered without clear recall of their exploration paths and analysis processes. We introduce a visual analysis tool that allows analysts to record reusable and guided analytics from their interaction logs. To capture the analysis process, we use a decision tree whose node embeds visualizations and guide to define a visual analysis task. The tool enables analysts to formalize analysis strategies, build best practices, and guide novices through systematic workflows.
