Abstract

In this demo, we showcase the ``Talking to your Data'' system. The key idea of this system is to support data governance and data mining in a novel way. We aim to bring the use of interpretable machine learning techniques closer to the business analysts by using natural language. We have developed a conversational agent and a data mining backend that supports the analysis of data. Our approach facilitates solving prediction tasks and also provides explanations for these predictions. Furthermore, we make possible the interaction for including the feedback of the business analysts in the models.
