SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VISUALLY PRESENTING INTERESTING PLOTS OF TABULAR DATA

A system and method for generating visual representations of interesting plots of tabular data. The method includes determining a plurality of prediction values for a plurality of column sets included in tabular data, wherein each column set includes at least one of the plurality of columns, wherein each prediction value is determined for a column set of the plurality of column sets using a prediction function selected from a plurality of prediction functions based on a column type of each column of the column set; determining an interest rank for each column of the plurality of columns based on the plurality of prediction values; determining an interest rank for each plot of a plurality of potential plots based on the plurality of prediction values and the interest rank of each of the plurality of columns, wherein each potential plot is a plot of one of the plurality of column sets; and generating a visual representation of at least one interesting plot, wherein the at least one interesting plot is selected from among the plurality of potential plots based on the plurality of interest ranks.
