This threw me also. I was expecting a really different article.

It's referring to the seaborn library (https://seaborn.pydata.org/), a Python library for data visualization (built on top of matplotlib).

The first word of an editorialised title, frowned upon here, and not mentioned in the abstract (which I did read)

It's a statistics software package:
