The implementations described herein include methods and systems for ranking data visualizations. A method is performed at a computing device having one or more processors and memory storing programs for execution by the processors. The method receives user selection of a set of data fields and identifies data visualizations that use each data field in the user-selected set. The method automatically forms modified sets of data fields that each differ from the user-selected set by at most two atomic operations, each selected from: removing or adding a data field; replacing a user-selected data field with a hierarchically narrower or broader data field; or adding, removing, or modifying a filter for a data field. The method identifies alternative data visualizations using each respective modified set, computes a score for each data visualization and alternative data visualization, and presents high scoring data visualizations and high scoring alternative data visualizations to the user.
A method of ranking data visualizations, comprising:
A computer system for ranking data visualizations, comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
