Title: Data Analysis with Guided Exploration

Abstract

Data analytics is experiencing two changes. Firstly, the data used in analysis is changing from mostly domain-specific data to data from multiple, often unfamiliar, sources; and secondly, data analysis practitioners are changing from only computer scientists or statisticians and other technical experts to experts in the application domains. It has therefore become increasingly important to provide data exploration tools that will help (or guide) the user in their analytics tasks. This talk will discuss the possibility in providing such tools and introduce a couple of preliminary attempts.
