Abstract

Many recent visual analytics tools use exploratory model analysis workflow to enable users exploring set of potential machine/deep learning models. As part of the workflow, these tools provide summary view of underlying dataset to enable the users to better understand trends in their data. Due to the iterative nature of such workflows, users may need to go back to data exploration phase multiple times. In order to save time and resources at data pre-processing and visualization time, we propose to use sampled data rather than complete dataset for showing trends in data summary views. As a proof-of-concept, we built a visualization tool, called SamS-Vis, that uses five sampling techniques to collect sampled data and then shows the summary views using histogram line-charts. It enables the users to see the whole data summary view of the selected field(s) using histogram bar-chart based on demand.
