Fast Cartography for Data Explorers

Exploration is the act of investigating unknown regions. An analyst exploring a database cannot, by definition, compose the right query or use the appropriate data mining algorithm. However, current data management tools cannot operate without well defined instructions. Therefore, browsing an unknown database can be a very tedious process. Our project, Atlas, is an attempt to circumvent this pr...

Ziggy: Characterizing Query Results for Data Explorers

Data exploration has received much attention during the last few years. The aim is to learn interesting new facts from a possibly unfamiliar data set. Typically, explorers operate by trial and error: they write a query, inspect the results and refine their specifications accordingly. In this demo proposal, we present Ziggy, a system to help them understand their query results. Ziggy's aim is to...

Modular Optimization for Robotic Explorers

Robotic explorers perform multiple tasks and have multiple constraints to optimize. Planning the best sequence of tasks requires information about how a given sequence will affect the constraints and goals of the explorer. Modules for all constraints and goals are created, each one of which evaluates a given plan from its point of view. The resulting values of the modules are then combined in a...
