VAS: Visualization-Aware Sampling

You have billions of data points, but are you frustrated simply because they are just too big to visualize? This is a common problem we encounter when we work with large database: my dataset is simply too big to interactively explore and gain useful insights from them.

Our proposed approach, Visualizaion-Aware Sampling (VAS), makes the interactive visulization of big data possible by reducing the number of data points, but minimzing the quality loss stemming from the data reduction process.
