ManyInsights: A Visual Analytics Approach to Supporting Effective Insight Management

Although significant progress has been made towards effective insight discovery in visual analyticssystems, there are few effective approaches for managing the large number of insights generated in visual analytics processes. This paper presents ManyInsights, a multidimensional visual analytics prototype that integrates several novel insight management approaches proposed by the authors in their previous work. These approaches include insight annotation, browsing, retrieval, organization, and association. This paper also reports a long-term case study that evaluated ManyInsights with a domain expert, realistic analytic tasks, and real datasets.
