Fast Cartography for Data Explorers

Summary: Atlas is an active DBMS front-end for database exploration when users cannot formulate precise queries. It generates and ranks small, interactive “data maps” of interesting regions, prioritizing quasi-real-time response and minimal input over precision. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
