Abstract: Data visualization processes can utilize machine learning algorithms applied to visualization data structures to determine visualization parameters that most effectively provide insight into the data, and to suggest meaningful correlations for further investigation by users. In numerous embodiments, data visualization processes can automatically generate parameters that can be used to display the data in ways that will provide enhanced value. For example, dimensions can be chosen to be associated with specific visualization parameters that are easily digestible based on their importance, e.g. with higher value dimensions placed on more easily understood visualization aspects (color, coordinate, size, etc.). In a variety of embodiments, data visualization processes can automatically describe the graph using natural language by identifying regions of interest in the visualization, and generating text using natural language generation processes.

Abstract: Systems and methods for scenario planning include using specially programmed software engines to simulate and detect particular feature variations leading to particular outcomes based on modeling with machine learning techniques. The systems and methods improve model debugging, simulation efficiency and accuracy, model explainability, identification of high risk or high reward scenarios, among other improvements and combinations thereof. The systems and methods implement computerized optimization techniques applied via variation generation across a dataset of test input records to optimize for feature variation along with outcome variation. Moreover, the systems and methods may provide and/or realize a minimized variation to input data that correspond to a point of transition from one state to another state in an outcome that results from the input data, where the transition to another state is termed a “significant” variation to the output data.
