Abstract: One embodiment of the present application sets forth a method for playback of a sense-making operation. The method includes receiving first session data that includes a set of timeline steps. Each timeline step included in the set of timeline steps corresponds to a user action performed on a data set. The method further includes receiving a playback command to display a first sequence of timeline steps included in the set of timeline steps. The method further includes rendering a first graph for display based on at least one timeline step included in the first sequence of timeline steps.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a visualization engine generates graphs that facilitate sense making operations on data sets. A graph includes nodes that are associated with a data set and edges that represent relationships between the nodes. In operation, the visualization engine computes pairwise similarities between the nodes. Subsequently, the visualization engine computes a layout for the graph based on the pairwise similarities and user-specified constraints. Finally, the visualization engine renders a graph for display based on the layout, the nodes, and the edges. Advantageously, by interactively specifying constraints and then inspecting the topology of the automatically generated graph, the user may efficiently explore salient aspects of the data set.
