• explorable-viz/transparent-text#2

To discuss

• Quick overview of where we are
  • Some initial examples (bar chart, moving averages) but a bit too basic to illustrate goal
  • Initial experiments with LLMs (promising but lots of questions)
• Problem statement/motivating example
  • Need a clearer formulation of target problem
  • 1 or 2 involved examples showing some common ways in which text can refer to data (computed or raw)
    • Could include “tabular” outputs too, e.g. report that summarises some data in tables + explanatory text
  • Express as Fluid programs to show hand-crafted solution and surface implementation patterns
  • These would then serve as sample problems for a Copilot-like generative assistant
  • The ways in which text can refer to data gets complex quickly so for now just focus on representative examples
• [Joe] Initial findings from LLM experiments
