Effortless Data Exploration with zenvisage: An Expressive and Interactive Visual Analytics System
Summary: zenvisage introduces ZQL, a declarative language and visual-exploration algebra for composing, filtering, comparing, and ranking collections of visualizations. Its graph-based optimizer and interactive shortcuts make pattern-driven exploration scalable and less trial-and-error. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
