METHOD OF DETERMINING ALTERNATIVE VISUALIZATIONS FOR DATA BASED ON INITIAL DATA VISUALIZATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine, on the basis of a specification of a selected initial data visualization, alternative visualizations for the data.SOLUTION: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a computer-implemented method comprises generating an alternative visualization of a data set on the basis of a specification of a selected first visualization of the data set and parameters comprising information pertaining to the data set. The method further comprises: generating specifications of a plurality of new visualizations by applying heuristic rules to the specification of the first visualization; assigning scores to each of the new visualizations; and producing a subset of the new visualizations on the basis of the scores.
