In this paper, we introduce VIDEE, a system that enables advanced text analytics without requiring natural language processing (NLP) expertise. VIDEE is based on a human-agent collaborative workflow and consists of (1) a decomposition phase that uses a Monte Carlo tree search algorithm that integrates human feedback, (2) an execution phase that generates executable text analytics pipelines, and (3) an evaluation phase that integrates LLM-based evaluation and visualization to support users’ validation of the execution results. Through two quantitative experiments and a user study with participants with varying levels of NLP and text analytics experience, we evaluate the effectiveness and usability of VIDEE and present design implications for human-agent collaboration.
