Intelligent Agents for Data Exploration
Summary: Surveys RL-based agents for incremental data exploration—operators, hand-crafted rewards, and task-specific successes. Positions LLM-powered agents vs RL on an automation–control spectrum, argues LLMs may reduce retraining and enable more general planner-like exploration while highlighting open tradeoffs.
