Abstract
An ad hoc business data exploration tool is disclosed, which provides guided access to the vast amount of data within a multidimensional database. The tool provides guided access by suggesting insights which may be of particular interest to the user based on a scoring of the insights and user feedback on desirable/undesirable insights. The present system works in conjunction with custom algorithms, as well as a conventional multidimensional database.
