Abstract
AIDE is a knowledge-based planning assistant for intelligent data exploration that draws on research in mixed-initiative planning and collaborative systems. AIDE incrementally explores a dataset, guided by user directives and its own evaluation of the data. The system is mixed-initiative: it semi-autonomously pursues high- and low-level goals but allows the user to review and potentially override its decisions. This paper briefly describes the exploratory task, AIDE's architecture, and how the system interacts with the user. The bulk of the paper is devoted to an experiment in which we compared the performance of human subjects analyzing data with and without AIDE. Although subjects each worked with AIDE for only a few hours, the system clearly influenced the efficiency and coherence of their exploration. We surmise that AIDE facilitates data analysis primarily by helping analysts navigate through the large space of decisions involved in exploring a dataset.
