Einblick - Startup
I was a co-founder and CEO of Einblick. Einblick was a next-generation, AI-native, multi-modal data notebook to build workflows and data apps. Founded in 2019, aquired by Databricks in 2024.
Emanuel Zgraggen
Engineering at Databricks. Previously co-founder and CEO at Einblick. Former Postdoctoral Associate at MIT's CSAIL Database Group.
My research interests are at the intersection of HCI, InfoVis and AI/ML. I got my Ph.D. from at Brown University where I was advised by Andy van Dam.
Interactive Data Science
Northstar is an interactive data science plattform that combines data exploration with automated machine learning.
Progressive Visualizations
We investigated how progressive visualizations affect users in exploratory data analysis scenarios. Through a controlled experiment, we compared progressive visualizations to blocking and instantaneous visualizations.
Visual Regular Expressions
(s|qu)eries (pronounced “Squeries”) is a visual query interface for creating queries on sequences (series) of data based on regular expressions.
Interactive Data Exploration
PanoramicData is a hybrid pen and touch system for visual data exploration.
Handwritten Spreadsheets
Tableur is a spreadsheet-like pen- and touch-based system that revolves around handwriting recognition - all data is represented as digital ink.
Multiple Comparisons Problem
The goal of visualizations is to facilitate data-driven insight discovery. But what if the insights are spurious? Features or patterns in visualizations can be perceived as relevant insights, even though they arise from noise.
Progressive Sequence Mining
ProSecCo is an algorithm for progressive mining of frequent sequences: it processes the dataset in blocks and outputs a high-quality approximation.
Interactive Analytics
Vizdom is an interactive visual analytics system that scales to large datasets through progressive computation.
