Abstract

According to examples, intelligent visualization munging may include transforming and enriching data that is to be visualized, determining features of the transformed and enriched data, determining a user role of a user associated with the transformed and enriched data, and a user interaction of the user. Intelligent visualization munging may further include learning a behavior of the user, and analyzing the features, the user role, the user interaction, and a learned behavior model to generate a recommendation that includes a predetermined number of visualizations from a plurality of available visualizations to display the transformed and enriched data. The predetermined number of visualizations is less than the plurality of available visualizations.
