ShapeSearch: A Flexible and Efficient System for Shape-based Exploration of Trendlines
Summary: ShapeSearch enables flexible, approximate pattern search over trendlines via sketch, natural language, or visual-regular-expression inputs. A minimal shape querying algebra with a fast, query-aware engine and perceptual scoring enables interactive, scalable trendline exploration on real data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
