ChatKG: Visualizing time-series patterns aided by intelligent agents and a knowledge graph
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Line-chart visualizations of temporal data enable users to identify interesting patterns for the user to inquire about. Using Intelligent Agents (IA), Visual Analytic tools can automatically uncover explicit knowledge related information to said patterns. Yet, visualizing the association of data, patterns, and knowledge is not straightforward. In this paper, we present ChatKG , a novel visual analytics strategy that allows exploratory data analysis of a Knowledge Graph that associates temporal sequences, the patterns found in each sequence, the temporal overlap between patterns, the related knowledge of each given pattern gathered from a multi-agent IA, and the IA’s suggestions of related datasets for further analysis visualized as annotations. We exemplify and informally evaluate ChatKG by analyzing the world’s life expectancy. For this, we implement an oracle that automatically extracts relevant or interesting patterns, populates the Knowledge Graph to be visualized, and, during user interaction, inquires the multi-agent IA for related information and suggests related datasets to be displayed as visual annotations. Our tests and an interview conducted showed that ChatKG is well suited for temporal analysis of temporal patterns and their related knowledge when applied to history studies. • Novel VA strategy for intelligent agent-assisted analysis of temporal data. • Association between explicit knowledge from an intelligent agent to temporal patterns. • Visualization of Knowledge Graphs with multi-modal data. • Analysis of life expectancy indicators contextualized by an intelligent agent.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
