The study by Zijian Ding and Joel Chan from the University of Maryland introduces an ‘intelligent canvas’ – a new approach to visual data analysis. This canvas integrates generative AI into the data analysis process, enabling rapid prototyping, iteration, and the management of comparative visualizations. The paper highlights the limitations of existing interfaces for visual data analysis, such as notebooks and dashboards, and suggests that the intelligent canvas offers a more effective solution. The authors have tested the effectiveness of this canvas interface through a user study.
