Data Dashboard for Expedited EDA

[egrace479]

There’s a lot of available data, but determining its level of usefulness (via exploratory data analysis) can be a very time-consuming process. I have been working on a dashboard to visualize distribution information and samples of datasets efficiently and with no coding required. We have a pre-release hosted for use during Image Datapalooza. It is currently a bit Imageomics-focused, though images aren’t required to gather distribution statistics. I think it would be great to expand out the functionality for a more general audience as a way to quickly generate visuals for data or explore whether new data would be suitable for experiments without having to invest large amounts of time into EDA.

Could this integrate with the practice of documenting datasets via "dataset cards"? (see e.g. https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/datasets-cards):

[egrace479]

Definitely. I have actually used it to generate a static display for one of the Institute's datasets (currently private) and plan to do so for more. I would be interested in integrating the interactive dashboard into a HF Space as well.

Turns out deployment in a HF Space is relatively straightforward with a Docker container. We have v1.0.0 on HF, and set up a development version for testing off our dev branch.
