Interactive data exploration on top of linguistic summaries

Abstract

Extracting useful and interpretable knowledge from raw data is a crucial issue that has been largely addressed by the data mining community especially. In this paper we provide an interactive data exploration approach that relies on two steps. First, a personalized linguistic summary of the data set concerned is built and displayed as a tag cloud. Then, exploration functionalities are provided on top of the summary to let the user discover interesting properties in the data as frequent/atypical/diversified associations between properties.
