Build the future of data science.
Vizier is an interactive, reactive, collaborative, polyglot data notebook. Load data, transform it, and make interactive graphs. Vizier is intended for users with a range of skill levels, from no-code data exploration, all the way up through Python and SQL. Vizier is also reactive: When you change an input, Vizier recomputes everything that depends on it.
We have compiled a range of entry-level projects involving Vizier.
All parts of Vizier are written in Scala/ScalaJS, so it will help to have some background working with the language. Familiarity with systems programming and data structures is also helpful (e.g., you should have taken CSE-220/CSE-250 or equivalent). Finally, you should be very excited about data, plots, and data visualizations.
The project outcome is a GitHub pull request implementing one or more of the feature issues linked above. There is also an expectation that features will be presented as a poster at a CSE Demo Day, or similar event.
