The Intuitive Power of Graph Pivots For User Exploration and Adaptive Data Abstraction

This paper reports on a simple visual technique that boils extracting a subgraph down to two operations---pivots and filters---that is agnostic to both the data abstraction and the size of the graph. The system's design, as well as its qualitative evaluation with users, clarify exactly when and how the user's intent in a series of pivots is ambiguous---and, more usefully, when it is not. Reflections on our results show how, in the event of an ambiguous case, this innately practical operation could be further extended into "smart pivots" that anticipate the user's intent beyond the current step. They also reveal ways that a series of graph pivots can expose the semantics of the data from the user's perspective, and how this information could be leveraged to create adaptive data abstractions that do not rely as heavily on a system designer to create a comprehensive abstraction that anticipates all the user's tasks.
