Flint-interactive: A language for creating interactive data visualizations

Flint‑interactive is a language developed by Microsoft Research that enables AI agents to generate interactive data visualizations. It allows users to click on charts, filter data, highlight related content, and explore beyond the initially chosen view. The system is designed to enhance user interaction with visual data representations.

Dashboard2Code: Evaluating Multimodal Models on Reconstructing Interactive Dashboards

Automatic data visualization generation has advanced rapidly with multi-modal large language models, yet existing efforts largely focus on static charts and overlook the interactive dashboards commonly used for real-world data exploration. We introduce Dashboard2Code, a novel task that requires a model to proactively explore an interactive dashboard, acquire and integrate feedback from its own interactions (e.
