SeeDB: Efficient Data-Driven Visualization Recommendations to Support Visual Analytics

Summary: SeeDB is a data-driven visualization recommender that, for a data subset, quickly explores visualizations to surface relevant trends. It uses pruning and sharing for interactive latency, adopts a deviation-based utility metric, and runs as DBMS middleware to deliver orders-of-magnitude speedups for visual analytics.
