Abstract

The exploration of high-dimensional real-valued data is one of the fundamental exploratory data analysis (EDA) tasks. Existing methods use predefined criteria for the representation of data. There is a lack of methods eliciting the user's knowledge from the data and showing patterns the user does not know yet. We provide a theoretical model where the user can input the patterns she has learned as knowledge. The background knowledge is used to find a MaxEnt distribution of the data, and the user is shown maximally informative projections in which the MaxEnt distribution and the data differ the most. We provide an interactive open source EDA system, study its performance, and present use cases on real data.
