MetaInsight: Automatic Discovery of Structured Knowledge for Exploratory Data Analysis

Summary: MetaInsight provides a structured knowledge representation for automated EDA by organizing data patterns into HDPs and separating commonnesses from exceptions. A fast scoring, mining, and ranking pipeline discovers high-quality MetaInsights, validated on real data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
