Grad school has been a mind-expanding ride. I got to work on some projects that do not fit into my main research narrative, but they all relate to the investigation of "human data interfaces."... DIEL suggests a close connection between queries and interactive visualizations-they both perform some data manipulation. Based on the insight, we developed B2 to allow data analysts to switch smoothly between writing code and interacting with charts... Dealing with large scale data analysis involves efforts on multiple fronts: faster backend (the usual suspect), code & interface changes. This line of research focuses on the latter two.
