VESTA: Visual Exploration with Statistical Tool Agents
Researchers have introduced VESTA, a framework designed to enhance visual exploration and statistical modeling for scientific workflows. VESTA equips vision-language models with a dynamic toolkit that grows as needed, enabling more sophisticated data transformations, hypothesis-driven visualizations, and statistical tests. This approach allows models to actively explore data and refine statistical models, outperforming existing agentic pipelines, particularly on complex and domain-specific tasks. AI
