The Mosaic architecture for database-backed interactive visualization just hit 1,000 stars on GitHub! Thank you to all who have participated and contributed!

People are now using LLMs to create charts and graphs. How might we assess the quality and consistency of the results? DracoGPT is a method that fits a visualization knowledge base (Draco) to LLM responses, enabling comparison across models, prompts, and results from human subjects experiments.

Overview of the DracoGPT-Rank pipeline. (1) User provides prompt templates for an LLM to rank chart pairs; (2) Draco featurizes charts and produces feature vectors consisting of constraint counts; (3) Draco learns constraint weights over LLM-labeled chart pairs by fitting a RankSVM model; (4) The fitted Draco model can be applied to score charts. Results at each stage of the pipeline afford insight into LLM ranking preferences.
