This yields a wide range of EDA scenarios and solutions that differin the guidance they provide to users. In this paper, we investigate the interplay between modeling curiosity and familiarity in Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) and expressive data exploration operators. We formalize curiosity as intrinsic reward and familiarity as extrinsic reward. We examine the behavior of several policies learned for different weights for those rewards. Our experiments on SDSS, a very large sky survey data set provide several insights and justify the need for a deeper examination of combining DRL anddata exploration operators that go beyond drill-downs and roll-ups. %B SIGMOD/PODS '21 : International Conference on Management of Data %8 2021/06/20-25 %$ 122 ; 020
