Guided Exploration of Data Summaries

Summary: Formalizes Eda4Sum: guided, sequential data summarization yielding connected, k-uniform, diverse subsets to maximize cumulative utility. Introduces Top1Sum (greedy per-step) and RLSum (DRL-based policy); experiments on three large datasets show superiority over one-shot and EDA baselines, highlighting scalability and need for domain guidance.
