Abstract: There is a severe lack of interactive tools to help people manage, analyze, and make sense of large datasets. This talk will briefly cover three tools under development in our research group (with collaborators at Illinois, MIT, Maryland, and Chicago) that empower individuals and teams to perform interactive data analysis more effectively. The three tools span the spectrum of analyses types — from browsing with DataSpread, a spreadsheet-database hybrid, to exploration with ZenVisage, a effortless visualization recommendation tool, and finally to analysis and collaboration with Orpheus, a database system that supports versioning as a first-class citizen.
