Effortless Data Exploration with zenvisage: An Expressive and Interactive Visual Analytics System

Summary: zenvisage enables interactive discovery of visual patterns across large datasets with ZQL (zee-quel). A visual exploration algebra for visualizations, plus a graph-based ZQL optimizer and a streamlined UI, enable efficient, error-reduced exploration. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
