This paper introduces the Traveling Analyst Problem (TAP), an original strongly NP-hard problem where an automated algorithm assists an analyst to explore a dataset, by suggesting the most interesting and coherent set of queries that are estimated to be completed under a time constraint. We motivate the problem, study its complexity, propose a simple heuristic under simplifying assumptions for approximating it, and run preliminary tests to observe the behavior of this heuristic.

Abstract
This paper introduces the Traveling Analyst Problem (TAP), an original strongly NP-hard problem where an automated algorithm assists an analyst to explore a dataset, by suggesting the most interesting and coherent set of queries that are estimated to be completed under a time constraint. We motivate the problem, study its complexity, propose a simple heuristic under simplifying assumptions for approximating it, and run preliminary tests to observe the behavior of this heuristic.File in questo prodotto:
