Description

The objective of this project is to enhance user understanding of an existing dashboard by tailoring explanations to individual users, based on interaction logs and provenance data.

Tasks

  • Implementing latest track library within the existing onboarding project

  • Refine onboarding content using the interaction logs and provenance graph to offer context-aware insights. 

  • Leveraging the LLM's capabilities to determine the onboarding sequence by the dashboard usage patterns and and the type, location, and data inherent to each visual. 

  • Dynamically adjusting the narrative to cater to varied user expertise levels. 

  • Implementing a responsive interface where users can seek further clarity, for instance, by prompting questions like "Explain this state to me?" The LLM-backed onboarding would then adapt its responses, ensuring a personalized and enriched user experience within data visualization platforms.

Further tasks would involve user study with expert interviews to evaluate the usability and usefulness of the topic. 

Requirements

  • Interest and knowledge in visualization. 
  • Good programming skills.
  • Creativity and enthusiasm. 

Environment

The project should be implemented as a standalone application, desktop or web-based (to be discussed).
