High volumes of a wide variety of data can be easily generated at a high velocity in many real-life applications. Implicitly embedded in these big data is previously unknown and potentially useful knowledge such as frequently occurring sets of items, merchandise, or events. Different algorithms have been proposed for either retrieving information about the data or mining the data to find frequent sets, which are usually presented in a lengthy textual list. As “a picture is worth a thousand words”, the use of visual representations can enhance user understanding of the inherent relationships among the mined frequent sets. However, many of the existing visualizers were not designed to visualize these mined frequent sets. This book chapter presents an interactive next-generation visual analytic system. The system enables the management, visualization, and advanced analysis of the original big data and the frequent sets mined from the data.
