Abstract: Methods, computer systems, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for facilitating generation and presentation of insights. In one implementation, a set of data is used to generate a data visualization. A candidate insight associated with the data visualization is generated, the candidate insight being generated in text form based on a text template and comprising a descriptive insight, a predictive insight, an investigative, or a prescriptive insight. A set of natural language insights is generated, via a machine learning model. The natural language insights represent the candidate insight in a text style that is different from the text template. A natural language insight having the text style corresponding with a desired text style is selected for presenting the candidate insight and, thereafter, the selected natural language insight and data visualization are providing for display via a graphical user interface.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods and systems for facilitating actively-learned context modeling. In one embodiment, a subset of data is selected from a training dataset corresponding with an image to be compressed, the subset of data corresponding with a subset of data of pixels of the image. A context model is generated using the selected subset of data. The context model is generally in the form of a decision tree having a set of leaf nodes. Entropy values corresponding with each leaf node of the set of leaf nodes are determined. Each entropy value indicates an extent of diversity of context associated with the corresponding leaf node. Additional data from the training dataset is selected based on the entropy values corresponding with the leaf nodes. The updated subset of data is used to generate an updated context model for use in performing compression of the image.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for a Nonsymmetric Determinantal Point Process (NDPPs) for compatible set recommendations in a setting where data representing entities (e.g., items) arrives in a stream. A stream representing compatible sets of entities is received and used to update a latent representation of the entities and a compatibility distribution indicating likelihood of compatibility of subsets of the entities. The probability distribution is accessed in a single sequential pass to predict a compatible complete set of entities that completes an incomplete set of entities. The predicted complete compatible set is provided a recommendation for entities that complete the incomplete set of entities.

Abstract: In implementations of augmented reality systems for comparing physical objects, a computing device implements a comparison system to detect physical objects and physical markers depicted in frames of a digital video captured using an image capture device and displayed in a user interface. The comparison system associates a physical object of the physical objects with a physical marker of the physical markers based on an association distance estimated using two-dimensional coordinates of the user interface corresponding to a center of the physical object and a distance from the image capture device to the physical marker. Characteristics of the physical object are determined that are not displayed in the user interface based on an identifier of the physical marker. The comparison system generates a virtual object for display in the user interface that includes indications of a subset of the characteristics of the physical object.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a data visualization system detects insights from a dataset and computes insight scores for respective insights. The data visualization system further computes insight type scores, from the insight scores, for insight types in the detected insights. The data visualization system determines a selected insight type for the dataset having a higher insight type score than unselected insight types and determines, for the selected insight type, a set of selected insights that have higher insight scores than unselected insights. The data visualization system determines insight visualizations for the set of selected insights and generates, for inclusion in a user interface of the data visualization system, selectable interface elements configured for invoking an editing tool for updating the determined insight visualizations from the dataset. The selectable interface elements are arranged in the user interface according to the insight scores of the set of selected insights.

Abstract: This disclosure describes one or more embodiments of systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that intelligently and automatically analyze input data and generate visual data stories depicting graphical visualizations from data insights determined from the input data. For example, the disclosed systems automatically extract data insights utilizing an in-depth statistical analysis of dataset groups from data-attribute categories within the input data. Based on the data insights, the disclosed systems can automatically generate exportable visual data stories to visualize the data insights, provide textual or audio-based natural language summaries of the data insights, and animate such data insights in videos. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate a visual-data-story graph comprising nodes representing visual data stories and edges representing similarities between the visual data stories.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for management, assessment, navigation, and/or discovery of data based on data quality, consumption, and/or utility metrics. Data may be assessed using attribute-level and/or record-level metrics that quantify data: “quality” - the condition of data (e.g., presence of incorrect or incomplete values), its “consumption” - the tracked usage of data in downstream applications (e.g., utilization of attributes in dashboard widgets or customer segmentation rules), and/or its “utility” - a quantifiable impact resulting from the consumption of data (e.g., revenue or number of visits resulting from marketing campaigns that use particular datasets, storage costs of data). This data assessment may be performed at different stages of a data intake, preparation, and/or modeling lifecycle.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for information retrieval. Embodiments of the disclosure provide a retrieval network that leverages external knowledge to provide reformulated search query suggestions, enabling more efficient network searching and information retrieval. For example, a search query from a user (e.g., a query mention of a knowledge graph entity that is included in a search query from a user) may be added to a knowledge graph as a surrogate entity via entity linking. Embedding techniques are then invoked on the updated knowledge graph (e.g., the knowledge graph that includes additional edges between surrogate entities and other entities of the original knowledge graph), and entities neighboring the surrogate entity are retrieved based on the embedding (e.g., based on a computed distance between the surrogate entity and candidate entities in the embedding space). Search results can then be ranked and displayed based on relevance to the neighboring entity.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that utilize a graph neural network to generate data recommendations. The disclosed systems generate a digital graph representation comprising user nodes corresponding to users, data attribute nodes corresponding to data attributes, and edges reflecting historical interactions between the users and the data attributes; Moreover, the disclosed systems generate, utilizing a graph neural network, user embeddings for the user nodes and data attribute embeddings for the data attribute nodes from the digital graph representation. In addition, the disclosed systems generate, utilizing a graph neural network, user embeddings for the user nodes and data attribute embeddings for the data attribute nodes from the digital graph representation.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein involve selecting outlier-detection programs that are specific to meta-features of datasets. For instance, a computing system constructs a performance vector from a U vector and a reference V matrix. Vector elements of the performance vector identify estimated performance values of various outlier-detection programs with respect to an input dataset. The U vector is generated using meta-features of the input dataset. The reference V matrix is generated from a training process in which performance values of the various outlier-detection programs with respect to training input datasets are used to obtain the reference V matrix via a UV decomposition. The computing system selects an outlier-detection program having a greater estimated performance value in the performance vector as compared to other outlier-detection programs' respective estimated performance values.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for generating and recommending responsive visualizations. In an example embodiment, a design specification of a source visualization and an author’s preferences are used to identify and rank compatible sets of candidate responsive transformations (e.g., using answer set programming). Each set is evaluated and ranked according to one or more cost metrics that quantify changes in information density, messaging, or popularity. Some embodiments generate a transformation specification in a declarative grammar that represent the sets of candidate responsive transformations independent of the structure of the source visualization specifications, compile each declarative transformation specification into a rendering grammar specification, and generate a responsive visualization by compiling the rendering grammar specification using a rendering grammar compiler.

Abstract: A cluster generation system identifies data elements, from a first binary record, that each have a particular value and correspond to respective binary traits. A candidate description function describing the binary traits is generated, the candidate description function including a model factor that describes the data elements. Responsive to determining that a second record has additional data elements having the particular value and corresponding to the respective binary traits, the candidate description function is modified to indicate that the model factor describes the additional elements. The candidate description function is also modified to include a correction factor describing an additional binary trait excluded from the respective binary traits. Based on the modified candidate description function, the cluster generation system generates a data summary cluster, which includes a compact representation of the binary traits of the data elements and additional data elements.

Abstract: A system receives a temporal graph comprising nodes having respective identifiers and edges. Each of the edges has a direction pointing from a first node to a second node and indicates an association of the first node with the second node. The system generates a sequence of nodes and a sequence of edges by traversing the temporal graph. The system determines, for each node of the sequence of nodes, a respective set of feature values including an indegree, an outdegree, and a total degree. The system determines, for each edge of the sequence of edges, an edge feature comprising a sum of the total degree of a first node preceding the edge and the total degree of a second node following the edge. The system forms an edge feature values sequence for the sequence of edges and determines an edge network embedding for each edge of the sequence of edges.

Abstract: Systems and methods for personalized visualization recommendation are described.

Abstract: A data augmentation framework enhances the prediction accuracy of tensor completion methods. An array having a set of cells associated with a set of entities is received. Influence metrics of cells from the array are determined based on an influence of the cells on minimizing loss while training a machine learning model. An entity-importance metric is generated for each entity of the set of entities based on the influence metrics. A cell from the array for which to augment the array with a predicted value is identified. The cell is identified based on a sampling of the set of entities that is weighted by the entity-importance metric for each entity of the set of entities.

Abstract: Various embodiments describe techniques for making inferences from graph-structured data using graph convolutional networks (GCNs). The GCNs use various pre-defined motifs to filter and select adjacent nodes for graph convolution at individual nodes, rather than merely using edge-defined immediate-neighbor adjacency for information integration at each node. In certain embodiments, the graph convolutional networks use attention mechanisms to select a motif from multiple motifs and select a step size for each respective node in a graph, in order to capture information from the most relevant neighborhood of the respective node.
