NAVIGATING INTERACTIVE VISUALIZATIONS WITH COLLABORATIVE FILTERING

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for navigating interactive visualizations of a business analysis application based on collaborative filtering. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide a recommender that functions together with a visualization tool and business analytics application. This recommender can track use of interactive visualizations provided by the visualization tool, e.g., views selected, functions performed, navigation between views, etc., by various users to build a set of inquiry histories. Then, based on these histories and possibly other considerations, recommendations can be made to a current user as to which views, functions, etc. might be useful or insightful. In other words, embodiments of the present invention track the analysis behavior of each user and recommend which views may be of interest for the corresponding analysis task based on the behavior of similar users in similar situations.
