Abstract
A combined computer/human approach is used to detect actionable insights in large data sets. Automated computer analysis used to identify patterns (e.g., possibly meaningful patterns or subsets within the data). These are presented to humans for feedback, where the humans may have little to no training in the statistical methods used to detect actionable insights. Feedback from the humans is used to improve the pattern detection and facilitate the detection of actionable insights.
